there is a lot of difference there for sure! i actually took a set of 36x 12.50x15 super swampers ( pretty much the same tread pattern as the 44's on there now) off one of my other trucks because i was selling them so i was gonna take a few pics with them on there , i figured they would be about the perfect size . but i never bolted them on there and the guy came to buy them earlier than expected so ill have to wait till i buy another set of tires around that size.

do you have the engine cover? it may not be cooling enough.

yea i do still have it . i was discussin that at the shop the other day with a friend , he suggested to put it back on so it would force some of that air down to the rest of the motor, im gonna put it back on but i gotta modify the cover to work around some parts ive added

My lawn tractor with the same engine was doing the same thing, It had a leak between the fuel pump and float bowl, and the diaphram was real stiff. I installed a carb kit and it runs better than it did brand new.
