Does mixture directly affect temp gauge? 140-160 1974

Would adjusting the CO on a k-jet change the temperature gauge reading? It sems when I lean it 1/8th it gets a bit hotter.

I have a new engine and it runs a bit hot, at the top of the green on the temp gauge. I figured it might run a bit hotter since it has tight bearings and rings and such, and I will flush the radiator tonight, and swap the radiator if that makes no difference.

I think also maybe the heater hoses are pinched a little, and left a bubble in the head.
