You have an air leak after the carburetor. Old, cracked rubber fittings between
carb and cylinder will let air into the manifold causing a lean fuel/air mixture. Same is true of "O" rings and gaskets. If there is a leak in the head gasket that will lean the mix also. Fix the air leaks and you fix the problem.

When you want to change jets for more fuel.. they actually come in Jet Kits. you can try different sizes but will have to change 3 knobs for proper mixture of gas/air ratio. The knob adjustments you just have to try one at a time for proper adjustment and only turn 1 knob 1/4 turn at a time. Tightening the knob makes less gas flow and loosening allows more gas. the three knobs are for 3 different ranges of RPMs. there is a low mixture knob, mid range knob, and high rpms knob. for example if your RPMs at idle through 5k RPMs are boggy, you can try a 1/4 turn and if it gets worse do a half turn back and ride again. do this off the street where you won't disturb traffic. it takes a while to get it running properly mixed.

Check the condition of the petcock (Valve) in the tank, open it up off of the bike. does fuel run out freely? if not take it out of the tank and service it , some have screens to trap debris. these can gum up wth debris and varnish from old gas.
Hope this is of some help.

Sounds simple but believe me. it is nothing but a horror story if attempted.
