Check the fuel pressure first.
Timing is ok?
Read your plugs
Does it have a cat? Early signs of plugging/disintegration?
One lesson I learned the hard way and I always consider when I see any over heating condition is core/fin separation. It's very common with older radiators. With age or harsh/salt conditions the fins to cooling tube bond can be lost and the heat transfer from the tube through the fin and out to the air can be reduced. Check your radiator for loose fins that pull off the tubes easily.
Be sure all the basics are there and then you probably get into making it breath better. I have never owned a MH with theses issues but it seems like the Banks kits and other tricks were very common back then.
