If the bowl on the carb is "bone dry" that tells me the float is sticking. When the float and valve are working properly you should have about 3/4" of fuel in the bowl when you remove the top. The fitting at the top of the tank has a line from the fuel pump and one to the carb. If you were to remove the fitting you would find a small tube about 1" long and about 1/8" in diameter thats inside of the tank. The purpose of this fitting is to return any fuel that is not used by the carb back to the tank as well as provide a positive pressure to the carb. The fuel pump puts out more fuel than the carb uses hence the small tube. Since you have the carb off, I would check the inlet fuel screen. Thats the fitting on the carb that the fuel line screws into. You might also check the float for any fuel sloshing around in it. That is a no-no. With a possible leak in the float, it won't open up the needle to admit any fuel. Just some things to check.
