My BJ7 ran on for all the 25 years I drove it (from new). Nothing I tried ever fixed the problem or even lessened it, but I learned the "drag the clutch at shut off" trick early on. When I rebuilt the engine I found one of the pistons had been dropped. Landed on the outside at the top edge, angled in just a bit- so the metal displaced from the dent was pushed into a little nipple protruding up into the chamber. 25 years of a British craftsmanship glow plug!
