Cranked Ol Maybelle upon the jack, and let her run for 5-6 minutes, like I always do, with a few throttle bursts, after she warms up. Now, I have a strong smell of gas in the garage. Never experienced that. Ever. Been doin' it for years. Cant's see any signs of gas leakin' anywhere. WTF? Do store Torco in the garage, but always have. Vents on the Torco are always where they've been for years. And, it's not a pure Torco smell. I mean a strong gas smell! Hope the phuck my garage don't explode! I opened the windows, but very concerned.

I've had the same thing the ood time. When I've been out and come back and don't put the bike in the garage it may sit in the driveway for the day. Then when I do put it in l have to fire it up( as l can't push it in ) once I'm in l let it run for a few minutes then shut it off. That's when I smell gas as well, it doesn't happen often but it does happen.
I put it down to at the moment the motor is shut down and the pots not being as hot that an exhaust valve is open and it's the gas vapor from that pot coming out of the tail pipe that you smell.
If it happens again give a smell at the tail pipes you'll most likely smell it to be the strongest there. The same thing goes for the intake the small could be strongest at the air filter.
If you do have a concern of a leak but can't see a leak look for a white ring like stain . Gas that has been vaporised on a hot metal can leave a stain.
