Default my old bike

i bought my first bike awhile ago it was a 1977 yamaha xs750 ran great for awhile but now it leaks gas like sive out of the carbs. at the moment i cant get it started but when it would run it would really bog down while i was on the gas. any ideas i would like to get it runnning mayby to do an old rat bike themed bike as a second runner or mayby for the wife to ride on. any opinions would be help and i know its not a kawasaki but its a nice old bike hate to just get rid of it.(its the one in the back)
