Two things.
Have you taken the carburettor apart? If so, make sure the venturi is in there and not somewhere on your workbench.
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.
