With the key "on" or the engine running, pull the vacuum line off, and if there's and gas leaking (or smell of gas {i think}), it needs to be replaced.

Okay, thats good. You can try to replace the fuel filter next. Its only a few dollars, and not overly hard to change.

Have you checked the breather tube? Its a vacuum line that runs from the intake to the back of the motor.. mine was off at the motor, and it caused a bad idle.. could be worth a check.
