Right, Don, I owe you 2 cents. That would fit my definition of will not GO 5000 RPM. A miss is different. More like a momentary drop.

Once had a float needle that would not flow enough fuel to run at 60 mph for more that a few minutes and then the bowl would go dry. Needle tip looked great and resetting the needle higher only got me bowl overflow issues. Got back home and rebuilt the carb including new diaphragm/slide but not he needle. Still ran out of go until the needle was replaced.
2 cents, please?
Best regards,
Don M

If it misses at high RPM, I'd be looking for an electrical problem. If it won't GO to 5000 RPM, I'd be looking for carburation, but if it gets there and misses, I'd think electric first. Plug, plug wire, coil, primary connection to coil, wire from pickup, that sort of thing.
In the ancient old, old days, you could put the ignition system on an oscilloscope (I know, apparently nobody does this any more) and look at the waveforms of the ignition system and help to find problems, primary or secondary. Or was this in a dream?
Anyway, if you can find someone with such old fashioned equipment, that might help to pin down the problem.

Fuel cap closed. Didn't think to try it with cap open, since I don't (usually) ride with it open. I was hoping for a clue to my 5000 rpm missing problem, but so far no luck.
