.... this is a very hard thing to diagnose at the best of times it takes a real good description of what it is doing ... saying it won't take throttle isn't good enough
what does it do when the throttle is cracked open does it slow down or speed up or a combination of both or what ?
so you got it to idle that is fantastic and half the battle is won !!!! your almost there to take heart ! you'll get this thing running yet !
....
do a little test for me please... start it let it warm up for about 1 minute
at idle and without any kind of air filter on it look down the back of the carburetors and try to give it throttle to rev up and see if you can see the slides moving.... if their not jumping up when you give it throttle that is your problem.....
do that and then explain in detail what it does !
changing jets and stuff at this stage is a NO-NO it will run with the stock stuff in it don't screw with changing the jets !!! ...
what I am looking for is a sogg when you give it throttle i.e. when you twist the throttle instead of reving up it gasps for air and slows down and will die
...
if it does that either the vacuum lines are still messed up or the carbs are still dirty.... and the extra fuel cannot get through the carb ... when throttling up

yup if didn't plug off the fuel petcock vacuum lines then that could be the problem too
