Did you clean out your exhaust pipe before you put it back on? Oil out the tail pipe is a tune problem unless the pipe is blocked some how which causes a tune problem........I love it when I start a truck on the bench and get splattered from the exhaust of a poorly tuned engine[:o]

i cleaned out the exhaust and it started right up today also i didn't put the exhuast all the way by accident so now it runs good but my gas gets dirty in the tank and her is no crack in the tank think the seal is bad and the dirt is ging to the exhaust.

Thats probably burnt fuel from the exhaust making your fuel dark, Kinda sounds like you could lean it out just a tiny bit more. Also if you coil a little extra fuel line above the fuel tank it stops a whole lot of burnt fuel from making the cycle into the tank. If the seal were bad it would be running way to lean[:@]and the exhaust would be dry[&o]

io don't think its burnt fuel because there is a little bit of dirt at the bottom of the tank but the fuel gets cleaner each tank its weird

The burnt fuel has grit in it and should be flushed out with ALCOHOL ASAP[&o]

Just go down to your local drug store or what ever and get some good old Isopropyl rubbing Alcohol, turn your truck car or buggy upsided down and drain out all the fuel then fill it about half way with Alcohol and shake the carp out of it with the lid closed. before your dump the alcohol out pull the fuel line off at the carb and the muffler and let it drain out a little. Do that as many times as it takes to clear out all the sediment or dirt if you will in your fuel system. I flush out my tanks with alcohol every time I put a model up........right after I put my after run oil in[:-]
