Won't start after cleaning throttle body and replacing wires, cap, rotor 200 1985

My 1985 244 DL won't start after replacing the wires, cap, rotor, and cleaning the throttle body.

I have gotten it to start twice this afternoon, in between maybe 30 cranks each time. Upon start, it will idle just fine, nice and low, for as long as I want. After I give it gas, however, it will sputter and die, and it won't start again.

It sounds good, so I'm ruling out the cap, rotor and plugs. I'm thinking that it's the carb cleaner that I sprayed into the throttle body and the intake manifold. But even that doesn't convince me, since it idles great once started.

Any ideas?
