what would cause the header to glow red

[knight rider]

well i messed around with the fuel screw, the idle, the coolant, and even did an oil change and nothing changed. but it did get worse. i am pretty sure i put to much oil in it and who knows what i just screwed up now. 1.5L and took it down the block and oil started dripping out of the Cylinder head breather hose. i think i need to give up riding.

And the valves?

do not know enough to look in to them. I am going to take it to work and have one of the guys that races look at it.

Had the same problem. Clean the carb again. I cleaned it well and put it back together. Still had the problem. My father in law cleaned it again - he found a small piece of sand in the pilot jet. We put it back together and no overheating.
