Re: "Dieseling" problem with a travelall

[Howard R Pletcher <n9ads@domain.elided>]

A part of the problem can be that the throttle plates aren't completely
closed, compounded by advanced timing settings.  In the early 70's, some
IH installations used a solenoid that extended a pin when the ignition
was on to set the idle speed.  When the ignition was turned off, the pin
retracted and the throttle plates would completely close to help correct
this problem.  I can't say if your vehicle should have this or not, but
one could be added if it doesn't have the solenoid.

Retarding the timing a little and shutting it down with the transmission
in drive until the engine stops may also help.
