  • Header Temps

    Since my glowing header problem, I have been curious. What is the average temp of the headers with properly tuned carbs. Has anyone put a sensor on to find out? Inquiring mind wants to know.

    I get 400 to 450ºF with my infrared temp gun when I rev it with no load.

      Thanks Ivan. Went up one size in my pilot jets, made sure my starter jets were clear, and my pilot needle hadn't broken off. Header stopped glowing. Guess something worked
