Hi Jones.

Welcome to LSF.

Sounds like clutch is dragging / idle speed is high.
If the clutch spring is weak, then the clutch will open, grabbing the bell - edging forwards.
If the idle speed is high - same thing - this is a centrifugally operated clutch remember.
If there's an obvious difference between COLD (just started) and HOT idle speeds, I'd look for leaks. Air leaks will lean the mixture, which will ..... increase the idle speed.
