It sounds like you have a serious motor issue if it's losing power at high rpm and blowing a lot of smoke.
Step one is to get it started. The fuel pumps on carbed bikes are extremely low pressure, and they generally pulse. if you connect 12v to it it should pump. Remember, green is ground on a Honda.
Once you've got it started, change the oil and filter. Inspect the oil for any debris, if it smells burnt, etc.
Once you've got it started, get it hot, and do a compression test and a leakdown test. These two tests are the basic tests for engine problem diagnosis.
Carb/ignition problem would explain the lack of revs/loss of high-rpm power, but neither would explain the smoke.
