Default Wheels spinning don't know why?

Hey guys I got some Issue with my car when I start my car my wheels spin wild.
Since the lhs adjusted my engine mounts.

So I thought it was my clutch shoes and spring were the problem so I replaced them and put new ones on so then I reinstalled my engine back on my car everyone looks right I checked sever link brakes my idle and my carb opening.

My remote everything looks fine but why is my wheels still spinning ever since the lhs adjusted my engine mounts what do you guys think? I'm pulling my hair out on what's going on?

If your clutch is setup correctly and you mention shifting engine. If your mesh is too tight it can stress the clutch against the crank. The whole drive train can build inertia and keeps spinning up. Otherwise it's the clutch, check it's spinning freely.

Is the idle up too high on the tune of the engine allowing clutch to engage and drive the wheels?

Is this your first car? Its your first post. Take that your LHS help you Tune the engine for you. Turn down the idle speed screw Then attempt to tune the engine.

Is your Car taking Off at idle or is it still when you put it on the ground ??? If it takes Off, then you got binding somewhere. If not, then lower your idle a bit...

No it's not my 1st car

It's not my clutch or spring because it was doing that it for my old clutch and spring as well.

About the idle I have turned it right down still no change throttle ajustment is fine this all started happening when my lhs ajusted my engine mount shoes. does the engine have to be tighter against the gears because I notice when I push engine againts the gears the wheels stop spinning

Make a small video showing your issue and upload to youtube... Much easier to know what is wrong

If your lhs adjusted the engine mounts you might need to adjust your throttle throw either on the car or in the radio.

There is a small screw that turns on input / output that determines the position of minimum opening the carb Set that. The opening of carb is approximately 1 mm and go from there.
Also make sure that their campaign of clutch turn freely when the engine is of, the clutch should only participate as rpm go up.

How is the play on the clutchbell?
Can you move it over the crankshaft a tiny bit. If not then the clutchbell will lock itself due expansion by heat.

Clutchbell brgs need service or the clutch shoes are melted.
