Tym,
Compared to a modern car with fuel injection and smog controls, the Tiger
will definitely smell, especially after a run.
The carb is essentially a cup of gas sitting on a hot plate (engine).
BUT, if its more than normal, don't leave it inside until you solve it.
The tanks are all connected by rubber that can
deteriorate.
