Clutch on DC 1317 chipper

Should the disk be spinning when the clutch is not engaged? I have never noticed it before. Also how would I go about adjusting the clutch

What make of chipper? What engine and what PTO (PTO would be the engagement and drive.

Most dry clutch PTO's require 1" of free travel before engagement.

But I don’t think the disk should spin at all if the clutch isn’t engaged should it?

I have a number of Kubota tractors and Kubota specs 1" of free travel before engagement. Is the clutch assembly Kubota or some other make like Rockwell?

It all depends on how much frictional pre load there is on the clutch disk, the condition of the throwout bearing and the age of the assembly. The discs freewheel in both my large frame, Kubota tractors and far as I know, always have actually. I don't pay any attention to it, I just keep the throwout bearing greased as both mine are greaseable.
