Default Hard to start, loads up and stalls?

I have an 88 GSXR 750 that has a hard time starting. It's like not all cylinders are firing and I have to keep the throttle 1/4 open until it clears out. Then it idles fine.
I also notice that unless I give it quite a bit of throttle it loads up when taking off and stalls.
Any thoughts?
