You have to give a little throttle at the same time you ease out our clutch ... that's just the way it is. I bet if you upped your idle to 750RPM, slightly richened your idle and, if you have a solid lifter cam, loosen up the lash a little bit, then you'll find your take offs will be a good bit easier.
