It could be leaking at the glass sediment bowl gasket. Just a swipe with your finger in that area should say. Snyders has the gas cap gaskets cheap if you need one. ((((It could also be running really rich because you have an air cleaner on it. Could that saturate things to the point he gets the gas smell??))) David Renner told me not to run a filter as the carburetor was designed NOT to have one and will run too rich. They can be modified to have an air filter, according to Dave.

If you find your shut off valve, inside and under the gas tank has to be removed, you can jack the car up so what gas that's in the tank flows to one side. Some genius on here posted that idea. It's easy to forget simple things sometimes.

Don't forget to check around the gas line fittings as they could be weeping some.
