Angry 1978 DS100 bogs at high RPMs

I have a 1978 Suzuki DS100 that bogs and dies when you rev it. I can run about half throttle in first and second but if I try to run high enough for third it cuts out and bogs bad. it's acting like the air fuel mix is off but I have no info on this bike. I don't know the gas mix ratio for it but I'm using 32:1. Could it be a mixture problem or in the carb.
