Seems like fuel stays in the muffler forever. I wouldn't worry.
If it's running good and the temp is good. Run the pee out of it.

digger how would i no if the temp is good i aint got a temp probe. is there any other way i can tell if its overheating any tests i can do like

better too rich than too lean init

Not trying to bash you, but get a temp guage. Not that expensive. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEMG5&P=
$25 beats messing up an engine anyday!

I was told by my LHS that if you can't place your hand on the engine for more than a couple seconds it is too hot. But yeah, I agree, get a temp guage.

if you have a good trail of smoke then your ok. you can do the"spit test" to get a ballpark. put a bit of spit on the head, if it just kinda sizzles then your good, if it just sets there your to rich, and if it boils away fast you to lean. again this is ONLY a ballpark, and NOT a substitute for a quality temp gun.

If you can catch them on a deal, the snap-on guns are really nice.
