would having a buckled exhaust have anything to do with my head pipe glowing red

 

[87warrior]

not relly is your carb is running to lean its getting more air then gas mixture and causeing it to heat up more then stay in the cool range

How buckled is it??

If it is holding back the exhaust from escaping it most certainly can cause it to get that hot.

idk the people i bought it from beat the **** out of it there was soooo much **** they did to it but i fixed all of it but yea the pipe has two buckles in it they are not that bad

Then you are running lean.

Is your intake boot on correctly?

was it sitting still and idiling? My header will glow red if it sits and runs for more than about 2 min after getting warmed up...... and my jetting is spot on. I know this is a commin thing on four-stroke motocross bikes too....just a thought.

ya mine turnes purple but my settings are right on, or rich i made sure the quad wasnt running lean. just turn the mixture screw out half turn to start or more if you need it.

Definitely check the intake boot! Mine cracked and was sucking just a little bit of air and I was having thins problem, plus a high idle.
