Reply to "Engine is dieseling badly on shutdown - Seeking advice"

The engine is dieseling because the combustion chamber temperature is too hot, possibles roots causes : bad spark plug timing, too low octane fuel, bad timing (generally too much advance), too hot sparkplug or vacuum leaks.

The another possibility is that the ignition coil is still powered when you turn off the ignition, possibles roots causes: radiator fans running or bad electrical connection (perhaps try to disconnect the orange wire from the starter relay).
