That seems hot for the mph.
Yesterday ran my '83 SC 930-10 in 107 degree ambient (Arizona Phx summer) for 1 hour at 70-72 mph and some stop/go. Never got above 205.
I do have a Carrera oil cooler/fan/block off unit and that makes a diff.
220 is not way too hot...240 is hot. 220 is probably ok but seems a bit hot for 70 degrees...at 70 degrees I stay at 194 or just at the first tick, sometimes below.
Timing, CO, plugs...and, clean your motor/oil cooler...dirt oil mix will 'encase' your air cooled deal and raise the temps.
