Unhappy I smell fuel help

Recently when I get in to the gas I will smell fuel real strong. also it used to idle messed up kept reving now it goes down to 600 and act like it wants to stall. Do you guys think that the leak is in the secondary fuel rail since I don't smell it until I get into the gas? I have some 720's to put in and a fuel controller. Here are my current mods racing beat turbo back exhaust, bonez intake walbro fuel pump.

another question my clutch keeps going from hard to push in to easy as hell and when it is hard if I sit there and pump the pedal it gets softer. It is starting to **** me off.

Hope you guys can help oh yeah already bleed the clutch once.

I don't know for sure but doesn't the fuel pressure rise when you're on the gas? if that's the case the pulsation damper may be your problem. Apparently they have a tendency to go out.

Anyone have any other guesses?

also for the clutch I bleed it again and no change. It makes it a real pain to shift and I just checked the freeplay and it is spec I also looked at the clutch fork and the slave cylinder is right up against it is it supposed to be like that? There is no play also when I put the new throw out bearing in I forgot to lube the place where it clips on could that be causing my problems?
