Re: cat red hot

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

To get the Catalytic Converter to glow red you have to overload it
with unburned hydrocarbons. Some common causes are:
missfiring cylinder due to broken ignition wire or knocked off
broken or shorted spark plug
mixture adjustment WAY off
leaking fuel injector

runs smooth but hot cat. Suspect to much fuel. How do I direct the
mechanic to fix a problem that he probably caused, becasuse it was
fine before. Don't know what parts he used but will find out
tomorrow. What specifically would cause this, any help.
