helinut,
If you are using a fuel such as Byron's with castor it may just be burnt fuel/oil on the pipe. If you are using coolpower it should not turn color. Try and clean the pipe with aluminum polish. If it is not burnt fuel on the pipe then your motor is most likely running too lean if it gets so hot that it changed colors. But, if it did get that hot how does the silicone coupler look?

You must be using a fuel containing castor,I also had this happen to my pipe,the only way I know to make it look new again is to boil it in anti-freeze.Polishing will not help.

It wasn't running lean, and wasn't that hot, i'll check the fuel.
Thanks for the help!

Pipe Color

This is caused by using a fuel with castor in it. I had the same problem until I switched to a all synthetic fuel such as Powermaster or any fuel with no castor. It works.
