how about too much fuel, into the cylinders and its not burning.
the engine could simply be running too rich, that will give a fuel smell. it could even be a blocked air filter, which would cause a very rich mixture. the choke could be stuck open!
it might run fine, but simply be running very rich.

YIPPEE it's fixed. Turned out to be a box in the rear panel fixed to the breather pipes that had a slight crack in it and once filled with araldite the smell had vanished. So thank you Aldo for the advice.
