take out your spark plugs and see if there is any carbon deposits on them.
Carbon in the combustion chamber will 'retain' heat, causing excess
combustion (run-on...)

The best way to remove carbon deposits is by physically removing it (take
off the head, scrape away the gunk)

There may be some product you can spray into the cylinder.  I cannot
recommend any such product, I've never used one :-)
