The engine is getting really hot really quick. At a stop light I kind of noticed that the smoke might be coming from an area where the mufflers attach to the engine but I can't quite zero in on it.

Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

Clean everything off good & check for a leak from the cap above the exhaust pipe. ( valve adjustment cap). It has a sealing o-ring that can leak & drip on too the exhaust pipe.
