Honda HRX217VKA Stalls to easy

After 23 years with a Toro it was time to get something bigger and better. The Toro was not good at mulching and the Tecumsa engine was too small or was it?
The new Honda has the GCV 190
Well here is the delemma I mulched on Tuesday and on Thursday I decided I wanted to lower the setting one notch for a 1 1/4" cut height. Although I had just mowed two days before I thought it would be best to use the catcher. Well 6.5HP still doesn't cut it. The Honda could only take 1/2 pass at a time without stalling and that was pushing it.
Could my problem be the Bermuda Grass?
Suggestions welcome!
