I tried spraying some starting fluid into the air box and I can crack the throttle all the way as long as I spray
Intake boots with out air leaks ? Carburetors synced?
A tight or zero gap intake / exhaust valve clearance can cause a spit back into the carburetor.
Ignition timing set right and spark plugs colors checked?
Pictures of your carburetor environment will help to solve your problem.

If it is the correct filter and it is not clogged with junk frm a dirty tank, it will not stop the flow.
As previous posters have noted, you need to do basic maintenance like checking valve lash. Open the service manual to the roitine maintenance section, and perform all the maintenance items as listed. That way you can eliminate many potential problems and can more easily identify any remaining ones. If valve lash is incorrect and the carbs are not synchronized and the carb holders leak and some of the jets are clogged and the fuel levels are incorrect and the petcock is malfunctioning, taking a stab at fixing one of them will not get you where you want to be, and you may have wasted time and money "fixing" something that was not really a problem.
