Is choke ON or OFF when it's idling at 5000 RPMs?
For any engine to run at certain speed, enough air has to be entering engine to support that speed. Couple of areas that may introduce more air than necessary:
1. choke
2. idle-speed adjuster too tight and opening throttle too much
3. throttle-cable too tight and keeping throttle open
4. vacuum-leak in carb/boots or somewhere after throttle
As for dying when you open throttle, yeah, that sounds like fuel-flow circuits in carbs are clogged and not metering fuel to match extra air-flow.
