Default Cylinder head temp?

Guys,

My K341 I was working pretty hard in really deep grass on a hot day. It stalled and wouldn't re-start till it cooled off. The only thing I can think of is cylinder wall to piston clearance with the aftermarket piston is too tight or ..it's overheating. It doesn't seem to be running lean- maybe I should enrich-en the fuel mixture a 1/4 turn just to be safe. Don't want to be too rich either..

I was wondering what type of head temp I should see on a 100F day w/ heavy load?? I've got an IR thermometer.
