when i first start my car and it runs it smells like gas, and my exhaust is always carboned up...could i have leaky injectors? is that causing the smell, also what causes the carbon is it the premix i have been running??

hmmm...
your O2 sensor or your Air Flow Meter could be out of whack causing you to run hyper rich...
Does it idle funny? Take a hand whif of the exhaust and see how rich is smells. (Could also be spark plugs old not burning the gas entirely...again strange idle would probably be a symptom.)

If the smell is from the front of the car, check all the fuel hoses around the engine very carefully. Mine had a pinhole leak that would 'disappear' once the engine warmed up. Usual warning about pulsation damper applies too.
