I think i researched my gas smell some time ago but now mileage has taken a hit and the car is not as strong as it used to be. I remembered someone saying the smell could be coming from the carb (as well as the gas tank itself).

I don't have the tools, knowledge, or time to troubleshoot the carb myself. Do you know of any shops in South Jersey where I can take it that have someone old enough to know carbs? Worst case, how much is a decent carb rebuild?
