Default Carb replacement. Won't start

My 3240 was acting up. Ran fine but would lose power or die while mowing. Took the carb off to remove the backfire solenoid as it had been a problem in the past. The carb broke where it bolts to the engine. Ordered a new one with the exact same part number (24 053 59) and installed it today. Now it won't start. Turns over and runs for about 2 seconds and dies.

Any hints or tips?

Started just fine before replacing the carb. Pulled the fuel hose and confirmed fuel is running to it. Tried blowing through the hose and into the carb and couldn't get any movement. Didn't see any valves to set...
