Can more or less rule out the fuel tap (smell is on the wrong side), has new fuel, choke (Although need to see if thats working at all, not sure its doing an awful lot at the mo), and bike is running fine otherwise so I don't think its anything to do with fuel in the vacuum line, and a friend with his 91 fzr had a quick ride on mine and thought it was running ok too.
I'm going for an overflowing carb at this point over the bowl vent but I'll have a look at everything when I get a chance.
Check underneath the fuel tank (take it off) for pin-hole leaks in the tank. The petrol seeps rather than leaks. It will be easily seen as a dark damp area on the surface. It often occurs on the seam welds or bottom corners.
Check also leaks in the fuel lines/connections and vacuum line is connected in the right place and fuel is not leaking (from the tap) via it.
