Fuel Smell at Startup

After doing some work to my car I noticed there is a strong fuel smell when I first start it up in the morning. I'm fairly certain the smell wasn't there before. I recently passed smog, but the idle test was close to failing (running a little rich).
What could cause a fuel smell at start up? I've read this might be normal, but I never noticed such a strong smell before.
