"Dieseling" as yours sounds like it is doing is often caused by a
build-up of carbon inside the combustion chambers. The carbon continues
to glow after the last combustion stroke which propels the engine in
another rotation again, which with a mechanical fuel pump keeps the fuel
going. Then the glowing carbon re-ignites the fuel mixture in place of
the spark plug again.

The cure, if this is the problem and it sounds like it is, is to get rid
of the carbon build-up. The easiest way to do this is to slowly (!!)
feed 12-16 ounces of plain water into the air intake as the engine is
running, keeping the RPMs up slightly. NO, this will NOT cause
hydrolock providing you feed the water in slowly and in a controlled
manner over a minute to two minutes. Just slowly trickle it and
maintain control over the water so you don't dump it in too quickly by
accident.

The water will scavenge the carbon deposits and though it may take more
than one treatment, this will leave the combustion chambers clean as a
whistle. No I didn't just make this up, this technique has been used at
least from the thirties or forties to get rid of carbon. The water
creates mini shock-waves that act to break the carbon up so it can be
ejected through the exhaust system.

Try it.

Would a spray-bottle work better than pouring it in? I have one I use to
check for bad plug wires. Mist under the hood at night and look for the
light-show.

No you need a steady slow stream of 'water' to shock the carbon off.

I have had excellent results using a pint of ATF instead of water to do
this. The ATF makes a massive cloud of smoke though. I have heard from
enough people about the water instead that I will use that next time and
see how it goes.
