Chris, sounds to me like a needle valve adjustment needs to be made. I can go through the setup with you if you need it!

It could actually be too lean too. Usually when its too rich it just won't get to the high revs. When its too lean it will get to them then lose revs as there isn't enough fuel to supply the engine's high RPMs.
