Pull the drain plug on the bottom of the carb with the fuel valve open. Catch the fuel in a clean glass. You should get a full stream of fuel. it will slow as the bowl empties but still flow a stream, not slow to a drip.
This will prove if fuel is making it to the bowl.
If flow is slow or stops, there is a restriction. Inline filters can be too restrictive for gravity systems. Some carbs have a screen in the inlet elbow. Other causes, the float set too low or binding, trash in the seat, defective needle/seat, fuel line too close to the exhaust causing vapor lock.
If good flow, look at what was caught. Even though the tank was cleaned, it doesn't take much to contaminate the carb. If the sample is dirty, the same will be in the carb. If necessary, open it up and clean it again.
You'll want to keep the original carb if at all possible. The new ones are aftermarket fit-all applications.
