red hot exhaust was created by Tuco
Just acquired a 79 kz 750- got it running after new fuel
and plugs but it's still faltering and one of the exhaust
pipes gets red hot (very visible at nite). Could it be running lean from a bad carb or is it more likely a valve
problem?

Would also check ignition timing, and that advancer unit is correctly functioning.
When setting timing, always use the F marks. Ignore the T marks.
See example pictured below.

Wow, that is a big difference in advance curves between the early and later Z1. What changed, the idle-position or the full-advance position?
