[Healeys] SU slow run valve or open throttle

[JSARCH]

I think the more common causes of dieseling are built-up carbon on the
combustion chamber piston, incorrect timing, an engine running too hot or
lean. Prior to rebuilding my BT7 engine it would diesel occasionally. There
was quite a bit of carbon on the piston tops. After the rebuild it did not.

Which technique will minimize dieseling on my BJ8, using the slow run valve
for a low idle or closing the slow run valve and using the throttle screw
for a low idle? Joe Curto hasn't responded yet.
I know an aluminium head would fix the whole high compression problem, but I
am not there yet.
Thanks,
