2001 gas gas exhaust getting red hot very quickly and not running well

Hi, 

recently bought a 2001 gasgas 280txt as bait if a project. Will start but doesn't run very well or rev very high and doesn't run for long before exhaust is glowing red hot. Have stripped and cleaned carb and air filter.

Any ideas what it could be?? 

Thanks

This is a pretty basic one ... and it's somewhat speculative on my part ... but could a partially plugged exhaust system account for the symptoms? Perhaps the exhaust gasses are not exiting the pipe well enough? Has somethings plugged and/or restricted the exhaust?

Concur.

I'd check this as well.
