<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>As Randall said I doubt the dieseling is being caused by
the vacuum line being in the wrong hole unless it is messing up your ignition
timing, causing the car to overheat.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>our old cars still suck fuel out of the carbs when you
turn the motor off, so they can diesel for an impressive mount of time, although
eventuall the fuel will empty from the float bowl and it will stop, but you
don't want it to do that so kill it with the clutch.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Carbon build up from running too rich can raise the
compression ratio and or cause hot spots which cause dieseling</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>too lean a mixture can cause it to run hot, causing
dieseling</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>timing too far retarded can cause it to run hot, causing
dieseling</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>poor cooling system (crud build up in the block or
radiator itself) can cause it to run hot and cause dieseling.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Lots of causes and cures, newer motors sometimes do it
because clearances are tight and they run hot, older because of the
aformentioned carbon build up. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>A couple hits after the car stops is not uncommon for
"our" cars, but ongoing run on is, I don't know what you have done to the car
recently, but I would focus on anything that might have changed recently since I
read your post to say it didn't usetodoit and now it does.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I finished fixing the gas leaks on the TR3, went for a nice ride,
everything worked, engine ran fine.
<DIV>Until</DIV>
<DIV>I came home and turned off the ignition, and the car started dieseling I
let it go thinking it would buck a couple of times and quit.</DIV>
<DIV>Nope, just kept going, had to stick it in gear and engage the clutch to
stop it.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Bummer</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Been going through the steps and the only thing that might be different is
where the vacuum advance pipe connects to the SU.</DIV>
<DIV>I remembered when I was putting everything back together there were TWO
holes on the bottom of the SU.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If there is any difference in using either hole, I probably picked the
wrong one.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>What say you friends??</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
