Why is my muffler glowing red hot.

That's true. A co-worker of mine reported his single cyl Vanguard powered gen's muffler glows red near the outlet, only noticeable in the dark when it's been running loaded for a long time.

yeah,thats when we would notice it too.at night,couldnt tell during the daytime.
 
Thanks for all the advice. I will tear into it this weekend. I’m treating this as a learning experience.
It needs normal maintenance so I’ll change the oil, air filter, and spark plug. It has old gas in it which I’ll drain and I will clean the carburetor and play with the mixture. I will also check the flywheel.
Boy this thing is loud. I’m also going to trying to get a bigger muffler for it.
It surprised me by starting and running. Usually when something like this happens, I cannot get the ##@ thing started.
