Default DA 150 running hot

Hi,
I have a DA 150 with about 2 hours run time . I am running the break in gas / oil mix. 32 to 1.
The carburetor is still at the factory setting 5/8 turn low 2 turns high. Today on my second flight the engine started to miss. When I landed I checked the temp at the cylinder and it was at 221 degrees. The air temperature was 84 degrees and the humidity was around 74% at sea level . I do have cooling baffles installed. I am relatively new to gas powered engines. I am looking for help , please no wise cracks or insults.
Thanks.
