While I am not familiar with your exact engine, that sounds to me like a fuel starvation problem. Check for good fuel flow out of your fuel tank. If that is good, then check the float height setting in the carburetor to be sure it is not too low.
If all checks out well, then you are beyond my knowledge of your paticular carb.
I would venture a guess that the high speed fuel circuit may be a bit lean.

No. The float literally floats on the fuel stored in the carburetor's float bowl. As the fuel level rises, the float works on a lever that in turn works on a needle valve to shut off the flow when the float bowl has reached proper fill. If it is set too low then proper fill is never reached. This will lead to a starvation situation at high engine speed.

That may well be the problem, depending on the taper of that needle it may be blocking the feed tube at wot.
