Well you've kinnda answered y

Well you've kinnda answered your own question I would say.

Its certainly a fuel problem..you dont say whether your Dad's Sporty is fuel injected or carburator model.

When you say it takes up to 10 minutes to restart and smells of fuel..this sounds like its being flooded or problem with fuel injection system.

I am afraid your going to hav

I am afraid your going to have to let someone (who knows what he's doing as far as petrol fuel injection systems are concerned) have a look at it.

Without being able to see the car..its too diffucult to suggest a solution in this case.

It could be something very simple..then again.
