No, you want to go to higher temp so 88 or even 92. But most important will be good breathing, so would be better to fit a later carb with the brass suction tube on the side. That is much more effective in drawing away fumes/moisture from the rocker cover.

Long fast runs not short urban trips will help prevent mayo.
