'83 1100ED,when put in 1st, stalls

[crag antler]

So, I have cleaned my carbs again and got her running again.
So nice to hear after a few months.
Running some seafoam thru and getting ready to do my 1st carb synch.
I have the carbs benched sych and am confident on those being good.
Today, during a break in Hanna's frontal storms, I could warm her up and see how bad she idles and such. Warms up and does good down to 1400rpms.
Responds to throttle and back down.
So I put the front wheel up to the side of the garage.
I don't have the front brake back together and didn't trust it not to take off across the back yard. Big of enough yard just didn't want the experience
Anyhow, the bike warms up,I pull the clutchin and I put it in 1st gear,bike moves a bit and stalls.
Is it just a clutch adjustment or the carb synch??
My hopeful plan is to get the ole '83 running right so I can get her back together over the winter with the body stuff,brakes and all.

Thanks.

Could be both.

Clutch freeplay should be at least 1/16th of an inch at the handle.

Vac syncing will help everything especially the bogging, then you can adjust the mix screws more and this should eliminate the problem, unless there are other issues due to tuning.

Hope this helps.

After a few months the clutch plates could have got sticky. Get er put back together and give er some exercise.

After a few months, the clutch may be kind of stuck a little. Put it on the centerstand & give it a go. Be sure clutch adj. is like he said, when it goes in gear, the rear wheel will jerk & start turning. With clutch lever in, tap the rear brake while keeping the eng running till it frees upa little. Just my opinion

Do the 83's have a kickstand switch? My damn Katana gets me all the time.
