Seems like your timing could still be off. If you are using 6v then you need a 1.5 ohm non-resistor coil that should be epoxy filled.

If the engine always had a tendency to overheat you may also have a radiator issue.

When the timing is about right,
lever up, idle very slow
lever 9:00, idle speeds up
lever down, idle fast with a roll
