It is roto-start and as soon as I am turning it over, it wants to take off.
Helps....whats wrong ???

Clutch bell moving freely and it doesn't start with glow ignitor and rolling....I am lost. Any other suggestions ?? HELP !!!

Engine idle screw could be high.

You could also be running too lean (low end).

Another one could be that you need to turn off your servo power and manually handle the throttle. Make sure your carb opening is pretty thin..like 1mm - 2mm is what I've heard is standard. (just pop off the air filter and look in).

If you don't have a throttle return spring, you might want to buy one.

Unless you got it's Idle to High, It pretty much has to be the Clutch or Clutch Springs, If a Spring is broke you could still spin the Bell like normal But the Roto start spins fast enuff to make the Clutch want to engage.

I would pull the Clutch bell and take a look,Thats All I can think it would be.
