Hi.
Sounds way too high to me.

I reckon you need to be on a 20 or 21 on a 6.5 X12 type motor. I used to run 21 outdoors on the DEX 410 with long straights. So I'd try a 20 to start with.

The X12 does tend to get very hot when running.

Do you mean 100F and 213F. If it was 100C and 213C, I'm suprised the motor was running?
