I have a problem with power af

I have a problem with power after cleaning carbs.Before i cleaned the carbs motor would idle short duration then quit had to choke or squeeze prim to get her to take off then she would run along gradualy winding up to 3800rpm{very gradual}

now that i'v taken the topsoil out of the carbs she starts like a dream idles just peeerrrfect but i can set her up to take off well witch is up to about 2200rpm then runs like a one legged deer.
OR i can get her to tach out at about 4300rpm but its a challenge to coax it there from an idle. so can anyone tell me what I did wrong? oh yea its a 1968 thunderbolt 500 50 horse 4cyl red stripe ser:2347778
