1982 Honda Nighthawk 650 carb problems?

I bought a bike the other day. And what a hassle. It was running when I purchased it but as so nas it would get up to 50 mph it would bog and die.

Either too much fuel and its leaking out, or not enough fuel and not starting at all. We have set the pilot screws to what the manual said 2 5/8 turn. And that didnt fix any issues.
