<VV> dieseling

[Bruce Schug]

Drop the idle rpm down. I don't idle at 900 even with an Isky 280.

A properly set up engine in good tune and condition should not diesel.  
In an extreme case you could use an idle solenoid to keep the rpm up  
to idle speed when the engine was running and then close the throttle  
when you shut the engine off.
