<VV> 140 Running hot ??? Help

[michael]

Hi gang. My 140 is running very hot. The carbs are rebuilt. Timing and 
points are set. Fuel pressure is correct. Belt is not slipping and both 
cooling vents open correctly. When I drive it and pull over or slow down to 
let it get cool, it won't. It is running a little rich. ?????? Thanks 
Michael
