Yes, you need to let it flow for an extended period of time, not just a few seconds. Even though the fuel tank was "cleaned", could there be trash floating around in it which plugs the opening? I've had this happen and it ia aggravating and hard to find.
However, if it is 20 minutes before it will start, I'd change the coil. You did not mention coil, but a coil or a condenser can open up and then heal itsself when it cools. Crank the engine immediately after it dies and see if you have spark.
It's not compression, it is either spark or fuel and I'm betting spark at this point, until you prove it is fuel. If it is not spark, you can come off the carburetor drain with a plastic tube back up to higher than the fuel tank and see for yourself what the fuel level in the carburetor is doing as the tractor dies.
Then pull the fuel line off the carburetor inlet and let it run into a can and run a gallon or so. When it suddenly almost stops you know you have an obstruction from the carburetor to the tank. If it will run a gallon you know the probelm is in the carburetor. If you suspect the float valve, put in a new one, they are too cheap to worry over, but I have had good luck with the rubber tip ones so don't fret over putting another rubber one in.

My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
