Are they the stock carbs with the stock jets? If not, what is the jetting?

No being capable of 120k's is not a design problem,
it must be a fault.
If your exhaust is restrictive that may be trouble(check for bumble-fly nests too!)
Make sure the ignition timing IS advancing from tha static setting,
and use a probe, or at least check the plugs to make sure it is not lean due to
inadequate fuel supply to the carbs(or jetting if not stock).
A dodgy fuel pump, or restricted filter may be one of the causes of "inadequate fuel supply".
Your compression is more than enough,
if your spark is at the right time,
all it needs is
fuel (supply and jetting)
and
air (restricted air cleaners?).
