Engine Dieseling

Hey guys

Every known and again my engine diesels and carry’s on running after I turn it off for a sputter or two. Any idea what this could be?

It’s also cutting out occasionally - it will not be able to rev past 2k and when you lift the gas it dies. Restarts fine but is a bit weird.

I just turned my mix out half a turn and seems to idle better (leaner?)

Anyone know anything about the Weber 32/34 supposed to have a fuel solenoid to prevent this engine run off?

Interesting read. I think my issue was most likely the high idle. I retarded my timing a little because it was running at about 20 degrees at 2600rpm which is a little advanced I believe. I took it down to about 17. My carb is also needing some tlc. It’s leaking fuel when throttle is placed so I’m sure that doesn’t help either.
