an over rich mixture can cause real problems- and makes less power than a correct mixture.

the complication here is determining under which conditions the motor is running rich.

it may be rich at idle, and may be too lean at 2000 rpms...etc.



If it were me, I'd attach a voltmeter to the o2 sensor and monitor what is happening- keep records and adjust tuning to solve any problems ( same as i did tuning my carbed bikes).
The systems used to tune are subject to the data entered, whether by the sensors or by the presets loaded in

and make sure that the fuel odor is not coming from the overflow or a leak
