Original spark plugs are fine....carbs need work tho by the look of the picture you post of the plug.
You using original carbs or other type?

Never overheating.
Overheating = lean fuel to air mixture
Your spark plug looks like the opposite, really fat fuel to air mixture = unburnt fuel
It could be a problem with your choke enricher circuit
