Mike,  where are you at? You need some outside help!  Things do not make 
sense!

Runs so rich your eyes burn....everything appears OK..but doesn't cool down 
when idling??

You'll get it fired up in a few WEEKS??   How can it overheat if not 
running???

Lastly....  50 mph???    Tell us you meant 85!!! ggg
