A glow red in the exhaust system is a very good sign of to much
fuel in the fuel/air mixture. What reason did you have for
punching out the cat.? The lack of a Cat. will have no effect on
a motor with a completely closed up exhaust. You obviouly have
a fuel system problem. This is exactly the type of work the
EPA is trying to prevent.
