Jumping out of first gear

I'm having trouble getting first gear with the engine running.
What's that about?
I can take off in second, no jumping.
Could the cables be too tight?

It's a fresh build.
It goes into first ok without the engine running.

Had exactly the same problem a few weeks ago.... had to pull away in second....
Resolved it by sticking it in 4th, and adjusting the cables up good and tight from there....
Hope this helps
