Your engine is supposed to have duct work that extends all the way to the front grille. Plus without the grass screen, there is a good chance that the cooling fins on the heads are packed full of crud. You need to find the duct work for the engine and pull off the side covers and clean the fins. That should fix your problem, or at least help a lot.
