You are running too lean, that is why it is running hot.
You rebuilt the carb, did you use the same jet sizes?
Do you still have the same pipe on it after the rebuild?

you need to rejet it sounds like. idk where you located but its getting colder out and cool weather means more O2 in the air. that combined with the rebuild, im assuming it was bored a little larger, mean your engine is running leaner.

rejet to the next size main and adjust your pilot jet out 1/2 ish turn. both will richen you mixture and stop it from overheating

all this guy did was put new piston and ring in didn't bore it out any he wants me to run it for a wile and thinks it will get better because it has so much compression
i just don't know enough about it to say anything
