Title: should my air box smell like gasoline?

Should my air box smell like gasoline? Is this normal? I'm gonna wash it out before I put it back on.

Its connected directly to the carbs, so I imagine that's no real problem.

Smell is no problem. However, if you find that it's wet at the bottom or dripping through the fat drain hose you may have a shot float valve.
