Thinking this would be another symptom of the same problem.
My thoughts:
It won't make any power under load which means it's probably not getting enough fuel. Without the fuel and under load, it can't create enough vacuum to lift the slides and get into the main jets. The bigger the load, the worse the problem (which is why you can't get past 3000 RPM in second gear and why it revs OK in neutral). Being upside down and running would force all the crud in the bottom of the float bowls into the pilots. Yuck.
I could be very wrong too but draining the float bowls into a clear container will at least let you know if there is/was crud in there to clog the pilots and is very easy to do.
