Help strong smell of petrol?
do the talc test, b4 you start it from cold remove central cover u will see the hoses , sprinkle with talc, dont forget the awkward hose below throttle cable (bit hard to see) also to the right of battery u have a fuel meter there do same,start engine u will see any leaking fuel tighten jubilee clips job done
