You say pinasco 215 with 60mm crank. You did use a packing plate didn't you?
I say this because with the pinasco a lot of people thought you could get away with not using a packer on a 60mm crank, however if you use without a packer it will make the compression too high.
Do you have a fast flow tap fitted?

Could never get mine to run right with one of those 26 carbs, ended up with a phbh 28 and fuel pump on that set up .
200 to 250 degrees F is fine. My polini goes up to 265 climbing hills and comes down to 230-240 on the flat
