Ignition Trobuleshooting

The fuel filter is new, it is one of the glass see through types. There is some sediment in the filter but it isnt plugged. It almost seems like its getting too much fuel becouse I can smell fuel really strongly. It is a used Eddy 650 that was put on a Chevy pickup, not ran much then sat for a year or two before somebody gave it to me. It looks brand new but maybe it needs rebuilt and is flooding out?
