I finished fixing the gas leaks on the TR3, went for a nice ride, =
everything worked, engine ran fine.
Until
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.
Nope, just kept going, had to stick it in gear and engage the clutch to =
stop it.

Bummer

Been going through the steps and the only thing that might be different =
is where the vacuum advance pipe connects to the SU.
I remembered when I was putting everything back together there were TWO =
holes on the bottom of the SU.

If there is any difference in using either hole, I probably picked the =
wrong one.

What say you friends??

Thanks

I agree.  Also doubt the vacuum advance has anything to do with the dieseling, regardless of which port it is connected to.  (The
wrong port is also not threaded.)

BTW, dieseling is akin to knocking, hard on pistons and bearings.  Probably better to not "let it go", but rather kill it promptly.
