Although your carb may have something to do with it, it's very likely your fuel hosing. I originally used Earl's (expensive) hose and I too had a very strong fuel smell. The ethanol in modern fuel degrades the rubber in the hose. When I installed my motor in the car, I switch over to teflon lined hose. I suspect that using rubber hose in a fuel injected car like I have could lead to long term injector clogging issues. Haven't run it yet, but I suspect the fuel smell with be markedly improved.
