did you calibrate the coolant temp sensor?  dip in boiling water while
hooked up as-is.  plug hole with 1/8" NPT.  single or two wire sensor?
right after thermo?

what's your oil temp?  without good airflow thru the cowling, the muffler
puts a lot of heat in the cowling.  i saw similar temps for a few of my many
configs, either got good water and high oil or good oil and high water.
stock zac stratus cowling with bottom open?
