Need help tuning Quickfuel carb

Glowing exhaust can be cause by several things. Rich isn't usually it. Usually. The number one reasons headers glow with no load is a slow timing curve. The air/fuel is lit so late, it's still burning after the exhaust opens, and the pipes glow red.


It's damn easy to kill a fresh engine with retarded timing. It will stick exhaust valves with .004 clearance.

No load rich conditions usually don't make the pipes glow red. They will blow black smoke long before they headers get red.


Time to post some good pictures of your spark plugs. You don't need a wide band to read plugs. You are so far off somewhere that Ray Charles could look at your plugs and get you closer.
