i am heading out for the weekend but i will give my opinions on a couple of things.
if you point your ir gun at the thermostat housing where the temp sensor wire is, it should give you a good reading of temp.
if feel the air coming out from under the genny where that scoop is and it feels like a hurricane, then you have enough airflow
mine does not get any hotter driving than when sitting still. ambient temps and load make temps go up some, but i run it when it is 115 degrees no problem.
if you can verify it truely is getting hot, then i would have the radiator looked at and change the thermostat. in both of my newells i had the genny radiator cleaned and done at a radiator shop.
others can pitch in
