Lawnmower carb issue - what else can I try?

I bought a Craftsman lawnmower with a 6.5 HP Tecumseh engine from Goodwill. I almost have it running, but can't get past a carb issue.

I've taken the carb apart and sprayed carb cleaner in/through everything, but for some reason it's not running. Gas runs freely from the tank through the fuel line, the float bowl (with new float) fills up fine, and it runs for 3-4 seconds with a shot of carb cleaner sprayed into the carburetor. The primer bulb is dry, but intact.

What else can I try?
