I seem to be dealing with 3 different unrelated issues!
The overheating issue is it boils over after running a while. The water pump leaks at the seal. I tried replacing the rope seal with not good results. I just thought a new pump would fix the leak. As far a the carb leak goes. I know the Tilly parts are warped and don't seal well but as you said that should not matter. I've had the carb apart many times. There must be a clogged port somewhere as adjustment does nothing..I'm going to flush the radiator and block to see if that will fix the overheating.
