Freind of mine has a '85 GSL w/12a carb motor. I know the carb is crap and needs rebuilding, the motor only has 25,000 miles on it, but after riding for awhile the header is starting to glow. What the hell causes that?

 

clogged cats, or running reeeeeealy rich

 

Cats are gone so now I know the carb sucks. Thanks! Will be ordering a new one asap.

 

Have you played around with the air/fuel mixture?

 

nieh!! running lean makes the manifold glow mang.

 

'transam, I don't understand, I just read the other exhaust post and you were on the right track with that one. Go to bed man, your sleepy.
