Sounds like you're flooding the engine when you wang the throttle open. Could be a combination of clogged air filter, clogged fuel strainer, crap in the carbs or carb jets too large.
First on the list would be to change the air filter, clean the fuel strainer (in the tap) and strip and clean the carbs.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
