Could be any old thing, but see how the thermostat works for you. Its only a slight chance that it is the problem.

It could be poor timing, poor mixture, a corroded waterpump, a clogged up radiator or dirty block.

You have to present with the facts before you can ask for anything more than a guess.

You will have to tell us if the carby is tuned (or not), the timing is correct(or not), and the condition of the cooling system as above, otherwise its just a silly, expensive and time wasting stab in the dark.
