Default Engine Overheating

Going to and coming home from Gettysburg I had a problem with the engine overheating. We traveled 160 miles and a lot of it was at 45-50 MPH. I noticed that if I opened the GAV adjustment 3/4 to 1 full turn that the temp would come back down to normal, but when I came to a stop the engine would start to stall due to the rich mixture. Dose this mean that my main jet orifis is restricted or too small? Or is this just something I need to do when driving in hot weather. Thanks
