Default idles but won't rev

My R-6 went down and tumbled pretty good a few months ago at summit, I finally got everything I needed to get it running again, gauge cluster, wiring harness, gas tank.... Anyways, it starts up without a problem, comes up to temp, runs on all four, but when I go to give it some throttle, it wants to cut out. All the butterflies are working in the carbs, and my fuel filter isn't clogged, the fuel pump works strong, it just wants to die when you come off idle. WTF!

I'm hoping that a smooth idle (even at around 4k with the choke on) means that my ignition system works fine. I could be wrong about that though.

When the bike turned upside down all the crap in the carbs loosened up and clogged your jets.
Remove and clean out carbs thoroughly.

Does it bog down or just quit. Check to make sure your airbox isn't restricted. It wouldn't hurt to replacde the plugs either. If they fouled out when you went down, the spark might be strong enough to run at idle-fast idle, but with the added fuel when opening the throttle may overcome the spark, making it stall out.

alot of times i weak ignition component may be enough to hold an idle, but when a stronger load is placed on it, it cant keep up and the motor dies
