Default '84 DS gass - clutch engages while starting

OK, I've got a 1984 Club Car DS gas. It sat for three years, and I acquired it for free from a friend. I replaced the battery, fuel lines, fuel filter, fuel pump, carb, air filter, and spark plug. Drained old gas, cleaned out the tank, filled with fresh fuel, and it fired right up. Now my one remaining issue is that the clutch engages as soon as the starter turns the engine over. On flat ground our facing downhill, this is not really an issue, and it starts just fine, but facing uphill, loaded, or pulling a small wagon, I'm worried about putting undue strain on the starting system, if it will even start under any of those other conditions. Not sure what I need to do here.
