Engine stalls out after idling for 1-2 mins

I have a Toro 521 snowblower with a Tecumseh 5 hp motor. This winter is the first time it's seen snow in about 15 years. I've changed the oil, lubricated the drive gears and auger gear box.
On the first run, it started and idled for about 5 minutes and then stalled out. It wouldn't stay running at anything less than 3/4 choke. I figured it may be from the carburator jet getting clogged (being it sat for 15 years) , so I removed the carb and completely disassembled it, cleaned everything and put it back together.
On the second run, the engine did the same thing. Any ideas or suggestions?
