Thermostat keeps it up to temp.

Took it to work at noon today (54 degrees out - was 40 this morning)
Died on the highway - had to baby it to the shop.
New fuel filterand on my way.
Runnig much better now.

hahaha, thought that you already did (fuel filter) that during your carb rebuild/cleaning.

o.k. real quick...
---too many sensors to name, but, ecm reads hot intake & hot exhaust, shuts down the engine (overheating).
---WATER PUMP not circulating coolant (temp sensor mounted in return line from radaitor) guage reads cold.
---cold engine = cold seals =coolant flow. (all sealed)
---hot engine = expanding seals = leaking seals (usually through the mechanical seal behind the water pump)

P.S. check your oil for white foam (coolant) it's loosing the pressure into the crankcase (usually)
