Right before i start I'm very much aware that this is not in the right section, but kindof got our weekend planned around this and obviously more traffic flows through here than in Help Zone.
One of my friends has recently purchased said Quad and we took it out last weekend to make a mess of a few fields.
Unfortunatly since then it has decided to develope a few problems. Now i don't know in detail what is wrong with it as he stays a bit further up north but he explained a few of the symptoms over the phone.
He said that when he took it out for a run the bike was running lame and then cutting out. He noticed that although the engine was still cold the exhaust was glowing red hot.
Sorry for not being able to give much more info than that, we do have some mechanical knowledge but were not particularly clued up on Quads.
This is a pic from last weekends fun and games. Hope to get more pics up this weekend if we can get the thing running right!

As in over fueling?
Any ideas on how to go about fixing that?

Too much exhaust heat is probably too little fuel, like the carb is blocked with shit from the field.
