[TR] TR4 engine question

[Rye Livingston]

My TR3 will diesel now and then, and I've had the carbs rebuilt and the local British Car mechanic did the timing on it.  For mine it seems to do it when its running at full operating temp, where as when the oil and water temps are on the cooler side, it doesn't do it.

So like others, I'm usually in 1st gear when I'm coming to a stop, I use the clutch just a little bit when I turn off the engine to prevent it.

Fresh TR4 engine that does that "dieseling" thing after you turn off the
key.  It like it tries to keep running but with a cough and then stops.  

 There will always be an England.

Stop it with the clutch.  Of course you will have your right foot planted firmly in the brake whilst doing so.
