Snowblower Keeps Stalling

I have a Craftsman model 247.88790 two-stage snowblower with a 9 horse Tecumseh engine. I have had it since 1998 never had any problems. I keep the maintenance up and treat the fuel for storage during the non-winter months. Today I was blowing some snow and about 20 minutes into it when it stalled. Primed it, pull the starter rope and it ran for a couple minutes before stalling again. Continued this cycle and noticed I could pump the prime button and it would delay the stalling for a few seconds. I am thinking carb needs cleaning but what do I know. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
