Un-burned fuel, root cause; bad timing or failed injector\ flooded carb. The catalytic converter gets super hot to clean the exaust as well.

Older Briggs and stratton 8hp horizontal shaft runs fine but the exhaust heats up to red hot in about 40 seconds you have checked the exhaust and it is clean and in good condition why is this?
Engines run by burning gas fumes- fire is hot- exhaust is therefore hot. Hot gases running through metal pipes will make the metal hot. Hence the reason for "Hot, do not touch" stickers on many small engine exhausts.
What causes the turbo charger to red hot?
Turbos use hot exhaust gases to spin the turbine wheel when the engine is under extreme loads(think a big truck going up a steep hill)the exhaust temperatures rise which makes the turbo work harder these raised exhaust temps (on long haul trucks max exhaust temp before the engine must be down rated is 650 to 750 degrees Celsius) it is these temperatures that cause the turbo to glow red hot

If it's glowing red you have a vaccum leak someplace, probably in the intake manifold or the engine is running lean on fuel or possibly too rich as the unburnt fuel is burning in the exhaust.
