You can let it sit and idle with a house fan blowing air across the fins of the motor.
The beetle has a small blower that moves air around that engine.
Sounds like you overheated it.  You were cooking the oil or grease that has acculmulated (sp?) around the plug base

I'd change the oil, charge the battery, and ride it around the block, close to home a few times.
Blow that crap out of it.
The fact that it idles for 15 minutes would tell me the carbs aren't that bad.

If it starves for fuel, look up the "son of sam" in the search here.
