All those tanks have some rust in them. When it drained dry, it carried a bunch of rust with it.
It should fill with gas very fast. I suspect your 2 minute fill problem is rust plugging up your sediment bulb inlet and down pipe. Take it off and blow it all out. Watch out for the little screens.
Your carb may have a screen at the inlet as well.
You may need a 1" or so piece of rubber hose to stick over the sediment bowl inlet that sticks up into your tank to keep the bottom rust from getting in. Check the archives for rusty fuel tanks to look at the various fixes.
Besides a little rust holding the float needle open, it is 5 degrees here and a little frozen water could be in there and icing it up. Add some heet to your gas and especially if you are not keeping the tank full.
