Let it idle and let me know what the temp gets up to.
While it's idling, what's coming out the exhaust? Almost nothing or lots of dripping?

i had the same problem saturday. changed the fuel lines, exhaust gasket, glow plug, and it ended up being a clogged up fuel filter. try those things.
edit: i would remove the fuel filter first, as that is a easy/free one.

Is this a new engine or an old engine? If old, how old?
