This is a little ambiguous...will it idle in neutral? If it will, and yr only issue is it bucking and stalling into first, you have a slipping or not engaging clutch.

If it isn't starting in neutral, we have much bigger issues.

One thing is that the starter won't crank unless the clutch is depressed. If the starter is turning, this isn't the issue, but with all the clutch issues it might be worth mentioning.
