Default 2082 power question

Hey guys,

I recently purchased a 2082 locally, model: 141731100 with an 8147... serial. It's to my knowledge the earlier versions of the 2084 came with the 20 HP Onan engine. I'm not sure if this should have been in this tractor or not. However, in 2004 this tractor was said to have had a repower at the dealer. Unfortunately the decals on the engine say kohler Command 18hp.

It has the 60" deck and in high grass, about 5" tall, and on the highest setting on the deck wheels this tractor really struggles to mow. It boggs down a bunch and I have to stay in about the 1st position on the speed selector.

I heard these things mow like crazy, is this common for it to bog down this much? The grass is a little tall but it's not very thick.

I've heard there was a way to bring the 18hp to the 20 hp with a carburetor adjustment? How do I do this. I haven't been able to find it in my searchings.
