Toyota 42-6FGCU25:
Very strong raw propane smell from exhaust

Hi
Just picked this unit up from a friend. It was occasionally used as a backup over the last few years. 1996 with a 4y engine. Starts and runs nice. No smoke. 22,000 hours. But it stinks! Almost like it is running cold. Rich propane smell. I know it's an older unit, but I run the same year Nissan 50 with no issues. I changed the spark plugs and air filter. Like I say....no smoke, no oil smell....just rich propane smell.
Any ideas where I can troubleshoot? Does the carb need adjusting? And how. Pre computer and pre emissions from what I can tell. If I can't clean it up I won't be able to use. Getting complaints!
Thank for the help!!

Fact of the week
The Michelin Guide with its star rating system originated in France in 1900. The guide was created as a marketing tool to encourage more car travel and consequently increase the demand for tyres. It initially contained maps, tire repair instructions, and lists of restaurants, hotels, and mechanics.
