Saracen exhaust problem
Thanks for the temperature information. I will try the IR thermometer and the tape trick.
Let you know what happens. Peter

Hot exhaust
Well, I tried the tape and IR test. After idling it at about 1500 RPM for several minutes. Hopped out and ran the IR. the temperature was pretty even all along the pipe. The tape didn't show a hot spot either.
Went back and tried to run the engine faster. Can't seem to get it much over 1500 Rpm, just tries to stall. shut the engine off and went outside and both the tires were burning pretty good and the grass below and between the tires was pretty scorched. I had a garden hose handy and put it out. There must be something like a flame thrower effect going on. I didn't run the motor for much more than 4 or 5 minutes. Got any ideas on this one? Peter

Your rubber tires caught fire? Yikes! Time to strip the exhaust out from the manifold out.

If the motor is running lean it will make the exhaust hot too.

If the Timing is to far advanced the exhaust will heat up red

Saracen exhaust problem
Hi,
I am not sure when I will be able to check some more things out. This is the start of the usually rainy Oregon winter. The Saracen is under a tarp, so I need decent weather to work on it. Let you know when something comes up. Thanks so far for all the help. If someone comes up with something else, let me know. Peter
