    M20B20 unburnt fuel smell

    My M20B20 smells from exhaust, very bad also on high revs it puff black smoke!
    apart this runs smooth, idle is perfect, pull pretty good, and doesn't make any problems but this smell of fuel is annoying.

    Any tips what to check?
    Thanks

    o2 sensor, spark plugs, wires, air filter, probably a combination of all of them.

        everything except O2 sensor is brand new, car is regulary serviced, o2 sensor was checked and tester says it's fine.

        Any more ideas?

                          check the fuel line right where it connects to the back of the fuel rail, mine rotted out there and didn't really leak but it smelled horrid.
