No problems with the Saito 1.25A overheating but I should add, that it had really good cooling with air directed at the full jug and air scoops bringing air into the top of the cowl which then produced a downward flow to aid the back of the jug.

I also converted a Saito 182T and it needed some sheet metal curved baffles to direct air down the back side of the jugs.

Cooling with gas can be done with some effort but I wouldn't use a converted gas engine in a situation that doesn't have good cooling.
