Tecumsh simply shuts off under a heavy load... lazy snowblower syndrome!

Old Ariens with a HSK70 engine (original was H70), starts right up and throws fine with the throttle wide open.... until it gets to work hard then it quickly just dies.
I release the belt tension, can start it right up again, and ease the belt into position while it clears it's load. Then it's business as usual until the next big load is encountered and it dies.
What could be going on? It's always been easy to start by hand and there's Stabil in the gas.
My assumption is that it needs to run richer, but since it starts so readily hesitate to change the needle setting.
