My guess: since it is running rich, it may well be and electrical
or ignition problem. Pull the spark plugs and look for one that
is wet -- that would let unburned fuel out the exhaust and be a
tell-tale smell. The fact that it cures itself (for a while) and
the smell goes away says to me an intermittent electrical failure.
If they haven't been changed in a while, change the plugs, wires,
cap, rotor and other ignition bits.

That's my 2 cents.
