I'm trying to build an old brit bike despite knowing nothing about bikes and having never ridden one before. I just built the gearbox/clutch and I wanted to check if it works or not.

>turn engine via the alternator nut with the gearbox in 1st
>piston moves and so does rear wheel sprocket

>squeeze the clutch, causing the clutch plates to move by ~2mm
>turn the engine over again
>once again, both piston and wheel sprocket rotate
That means I did something wrong, right? The engine shouldn't spin the rear wheel when the clutch is engaged, should it?

also, squeezing the clutch only makes the clutch plates move about 2mm - is that a "normal" amount of movement?

That's barely moving at all, you have to adjust it again and you'll probably have to adjust it once more when the bike is in ridable condition too
