My 1960 TR-3A (the red horror, or as my wife says "the red whore")
diesels. I fooled with it a while without success. Finally, I found that if
I put my toe under the gas pedal and pull back slightly before stopping the
engine, it stops the dieseling.
I know that Ken Richardson wouldn't approve, but it works for me. No
more dieseling.
