Hi, Gene -
My BJ8 runs great (just completed 1,496 miles roundtrip to Conclave and
back), but also diesels when shut down and always has. It starts easily
winter or summer, using the choke when necessary, idles smoothly when warm
at 1000 RPM, and leaves a nice, light gray residue in the tail pipes as it
should. I just leave it in gear and use the clutch and brake to stop the
engine after switching off the ignition.

Subject: Dieseling
Gentlemen: After initial start up after 8+ years and checking things out,
seems to idle smooth however after warm-up, checked the timing (static with
light) and also running with timing light seems to be right on ( there is a
notch on harmonic balance approx 3/4" before the TDC notch which I'm setting
it on) however it is dieseling for a long time after shut down. Any
suggestions? Thanks Gene 64 BJ8
