A lot of the suggestions here, good though they be, are really about 'tuning' issues. If the engine is as sluggish as you suggest at 3000 rpm and higher, it's a serious problem. Even a catastrophic problem. Basic timing, a carb in the ball park and a reasonably functioning MSD should provide more than enough power to easily rev to 5000 and THEN perhaps loose power, fall off, needs adjustment or whatever. But 3000? Nope, you have a serious issue. Like camshaft to crankshaft timing, something basic and fundamental is wrong.
