The carbs you should clean out/replace the main jets, those are the ones that are active when you are higher in the rev range.
The other thing that could stop it from reving is not getting enough gas into the bowls - which could be floats/needle valves/petcock
All things that mean take the carb off, poke something in all the little holes, and clean it out.

After that, then you can start troubleshooting again as most carb things (for bikes that used to run but now do not). are just them needing to be cleaned, when they sit for a while residue blocks the ports (that have to be precisely sized) and it doesn't run well.
