You mentioned you were able to get the revs up by pumping the accelerator. Pumping the Model A accelerator does nothing - there is no pump on it. You would probably have done better by easing it open.
I haven't messed with this one, I bought it freshly rebuilt - which of course does not guarantee that it will be trouble-free.

Yes, I do know there's not a pump in the A carburetor. Using the hand throttle to slowly open it would certainly have worked better but that's not what I did.
