Default breaking up

ok. i have a 1996 heritage. mostly stock, put it away for the winter and when i took it for the first ride it seams its breaking up when you accelorate hard,but it seem to only do it past 3000 rpm, if you keep on it it seems to lose power almost wanting to stall.on the high way wont go past 65.new plugs,wires,accelerator pump rebilt ,intake seals,cleaned carb,tried a different carb ,tried different module,no luck.kinda stumped at this point......

Main jet and emulsion tube have stopped up during storage. Clean the carb and all of the jets.
