After reading through your OP again, I agree it shouldn't be stalling at full throttle if it is warm, but at anything less than full throttle warm I am not surprised given my experience with 2 540s. I was initially surprised at how violent the engagement of the deck is on the 540. Grease all of your pulleys (the Zerks) and change to a 5W30 synthetic.
