At speed, any speed/rpm range/stepping on it, etc, it runs at 190. It only heats up when stopped. It cools back down pretty quickly once I get moving again. It will drop from 210 to 200 if I drop it into neutral but never clear back down to 190 at a stop. Interesting it cruises always at 190 when my thermostat is a 170 (lowest available). Since I don't live in a cold area, would it help to just pull the t-stat? It has been really hot here lately but this issue is only going to get worse with AC even though I plan to run a trinary and an electric pusher fan on the condenser (doubt that will help the overheating).
