Reply to "Engine dieseling"

LAR, SOMETIMES, I HAVE FOUND THAT TO HIGH OF AN IDLE SETTING, AS IN THE THROTTLE BLADES BEING OPEN TO FAR, WILL CAUSE "RUN-ON" DEISELING. AS WELL AS RUNNING HOT TEMP, OR AS YOU SAID, TIMING WILL BE AT FAULT. YOU MIGHT FIRST TRY CUTTING BACK ON THE IDLE SPEED. SAY IF YOUR AT 900-1000 RPM, TRY 700-800 RPM. I'AM ALSO ASSUMING, LIKE THE REST OF US, YOU ARE RUNNING AT LEAST 91 OCTANE. THIS IS ALSO WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO POLISH OFF ALL OF THE SHARP EDGES WITH-IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER WHEN WE GET THE CHANCE! MINE WILL RUN-ON FOR 15-20 SECONDS AFTER I SHUT THE KEY COMPLETELY OFF!! BUT THAT IS CAUSED FROM "RESIDUAL" ELICTRICAL CURRENT WITH-IN THE IGNITION CURCUIT! GOOD-LUCK! MARLIN.
