If there is fuel leaking to the point where you smell fuel it is probably some where along the fuel line. Next time you get it started trace the fuel line out hand over hand from the tank to the injectors. It's time consuming but its cheaper than paying your mechanic to do it. Just remember before you crawl under your car make sure you have jack stands under it.

The grid is heated and provides proper atomization of the fuel, when it is damaged I think the piece of crap carb ices up. I had the same problem, rebuilt the carb,but it didn't help. Replaced the $80.00 gasket and it solved it!
