Anyone know why my bike is dying?

I recently bought a 75 cb200 and have loved working on it. I got it running and have been fixing it up as I go. Initially I cleaned the carbs and replaced many of the seals to prevent vacuum leaks. I´ve changed the spark plugs and battery. A lot of basic things to get it running.
Now it is having issues again. The bike starts just fine and idles well. While in neutral, I can give all the throttle I need and the bike does fine but when the bike is in gear and I try to go it peters out and dies unless I give it a ton of throttle to get going but there is still no power.
I took the carb apart again and cleaned it but the jets were clear. When I put it together and started driving it, it appeared to be giving the same problem but then sputtered and was fine for a few days.
Now today it started the same problem.

Please help because I cannot figure it out.
