Taken the carbs out and cleaned them? and checked the floats and jets they can get blocked or stuck and cause the issue

spray lots of crc or wd40 down the throttle cable also checkto see if the throttle grip is binding on somthing

That will work to free it up ...

Better .. remove cable, use plasticine to mould a smal funnel around the outer part of the cable, hang up the cable by the nipple, fill funnel with light oil and leave it fir a while ... refill as reaquired ... when the oil runs out the bottom put the cable back on the bike ...

(sounds like you're discovering the joys of buyig an older, used motorcycle that might not have run for a while ... expect a few more things to crop up ...)
