Going to need a little more information. Is it just loosing power, or skipping? What kind of exhaust, and air filter does it have? Does it still have the points, or been converted to electronic ignition?

Thanks for the quick response, I am kind of new with all of this and learning as I go. The bike has straight pipes and yes has the points. It has a normal quad air filter I would say. I just cleaned the carbs and its running better than ever but cuts out a high rpms and does not respond to throttle...idk there's a lot to write and I'm on my phone could I post my phone number here and you possibly give me a ring at some point seems like your the man on this forum who reponds with knowledge..thanks

It's sounding like a fuel issue. Is the vent in the cap plugged, or the screen in the petcock plugged?
