Try using a different brand of fuel with higher octane. Don't use any gasline antifreeze or other additives in that tank. Sounds like severe detonation going on inside. If it persists get it in for a timing check or see how much carbon is on the head/piston causing higher compression and retaining heat. let us know what you find. Had something similar happen to me here a few years ago. Turned out SuperStore uses BARRELS of methol alcohol in their winter gas for our -40 temps. Check your plugs when it happens for color

Seems like you've covered all the bases on the engine itself. Whats left?
the clutch/ is it torqued properly? Are the springs weak behind the clutch sliders letting them rattle?
engine torque arm/ is it loose?
exhaust/are the sheilds tight? What about ALL the springs? Any streched/missing?
What year and model of machine is it?
