If you smell gas fumes then look for gas leak. A leak could be the fuel

I should of been more specific, it's coming from the exhaust. I was also
thinking maybe the choke is sticking?

Wires can
last for years. A common test for wires is to examine the wires is by
bending the wire across your finger and looking for cracks in the
insulation, if it shows cracks then replace. If the rubber insulation is
still pliable then they're usually still good. Wires that touch each other
can spark between each other causing engine misfire, poor performance,
and
be an ignition source in engine compartments. There are ignition wire
spacers to prevent wires from arching they can be bought at an auto ports
store.

Good advice I will inspect the wires tonight.

Due to the fact that you have electronic ignition the plugs probably
burn clean. Removing the plugs for inspection is usually the only way to
see
if they are still good. Plugs can be cleaned and re-used, but on the water
new plugs are most reliable.

I will also inspect a plug tonight...

Thanks,
