Default snowblower - ariens/tecumseh carb problem

Hi

Hopefully someone has experienced this. I have an old ariens with a 6hp
tecumseh engine. Lately (last snowfall) it seems to have no power and is
running rich (gas in a mist coming out the carb). I tried adjusting the
main mixture on the bottom of the bowl, but this has not resolved
anything. The engine idles fine but under full throttle runs rough, and
with any load will start to stall.

The spark plug is new, so that is not in the equation. I think it has
something to do with the carb, but any adjustments don't seem to resolve
the rich running situation. Any suggestions / ideas are welcome.
