My 1993 or 1994 suzuki quadrunner 250 2x4 willl start but if you let off the starter button it dies. does anybody know what the problem might be?

I have a 1993 or 1994 suzuki quadrunner 250 2x4 It starts up and runs but you cant get into the throttle much before it starts to die. When you go it seems flat because you cant give it much throttle. when it was running right I had it out one night and it got hot and the header pipe was glowing red I'm thinking maybe the muffler or header pipe might be clog of the carb needs cleaned any suggestions?
