r u sure its running rich or is it burning a little oil thru the valveguide seals?

Don't those things have cold start mode? where they dump extra fuel when you first start it to warm the motor up.

I would try a 180 thermalstat that should fix your problem  Thats what Im running in my truck and it runs around 190-200 all day with no problems
