What causes the catalytic converter to turn Cherry Red?
Hesitation and backfiring will accompany the loss of power causing the plugs to foul leaving them with a black “sooty” appearance. The unburned fuel enters the catalytic converter, causing it to overheat and turn cherry red. Over a short time this will cause the converter to fail.

What causes the Check Engine light to turn red?
The unburned fuel enters the catalytic converter, causing it to overheat and turn cherry red. Over a short time this will cause the converter to fail. Additionally, the vehicle’s computer, sensing a rich mixture in the exhaust, will set a code for the oxygen sensor that will often appear as a “Check Engine” light.
Why does my bike exhaust turn red when idle?
Even if the bike produce more heat when riding, you may even find that the glowing gets worse when standing still at idle. This shows how important the airflow is to keep the system cool. So if your exhaust is glowing red when standing still at idle, it may just be because of too little cooling.

What does it mean when your ATV exhaust is red?
Picture this: You just got back home from an intense ATV trail-run when you notice that the exhaust is glowing red hot. You naturally start worrying whether this is normal or not.

Why are the pilot Jets on my ATV turning red?
Soaking them in a cleanser is often not enough to get a good result cleaning the tiny passages, especially for the pilot jets. Dirty pilot jets would also cause lean idle problems. If you’ve determined that the jets are clean, you may need to change them up a size or two to allow a higher flow of fuel.
