Overheating can be a sign of a lean mixture.
You should get it on a rolling road as soon as you can to get it rejetted.
If you don't, you'll run the risk of piston damage.

Second that, whip the plugs out, if they are very light in colour another sign of a lean mixture, take a look in any haynes manual, they will photos of plugs and the probable cause of the colour.
