Question Rough starting

When my 85 GSLSE sits over night, I have a rough start the next morning. Typically it will turnover and start but it is very sluggish and rough like it wants to drop idle and stall. If I keep giving it gas it will eventually, in about a minute or so, start to run smooth at about 1100 to 1200 rpm. After about 5 minutes of running the idle drops to its normal of 800 rpm. This happens every morning for the last week or so. Any ideas folks??

No. It's not cold . Also, it's kept in a garage.

How many miles on the injectors, have they ever been serviced. They may be leaking.
