So I've been smelling gas lately, and this seems to be evidence that it is running way to rich.

I'm not sure how to modify the air flow muxture. I have a 1989 throttle bodied 305. This was discovered when i went to put on a new filter.

What parts should i be concerned about. I think of

Fuel filter
O2 sensor
Dirty injectors
Fouled spark plugs.
Timing.

Since the problem was found on the underside of the air cleaner, should I only be concerned about the valve timing, and things farther up the line?

Thank you in advance.

Looks old is all.

Might think about replacing your PCV valve.
