Re: Ya ready for diesel yet?
Whenever I had dieseling on an old car I put it in gear and it quit.
Which worked for everyone else too. The correct fix would have been to
put an idle cutoff like on an airplane but that was money. The
"anti-diesel solenoid" was introduced in '75 or so, but it tended to
fail and you blocked it off or adjusted it to do nothing.
Dieseling wasn't a problem until the smog era as I remember. I have
had MANY carbureted cars including VW's, gas Benzes, a slant 6 Mopar,
three Chevies, two Fix-Or-Repair-Dailies, an Alfa Romeo, a Kaiser with
its original Continental flathead welder engine and several AMC
products-two Jeeps, a Pacer, and two original 4WD Eagles. It was a
problem only with 70's engines until you pulled the smog ---- off. Like
you still can in places besides **** Kalifornia.

The old C-10 would diesel, solved that problem by spray cleaning the
engine bay, putting a new filter in the fuel line, a new gasket under the
carb, adjusting the idle down a bit then wiping off all the crud that had
built up on the underside of the hood, changing the oil, cleaning the
battery terminals, and giving it a nice spiffy wax job before trading it
in on the Jeep.
Easiest repair I ever did. Hasn't given me any problems since.

Next time try it full throttle, in gear. The solenoid just held the
butterflies open enough to idle.

Probably the same thing that happened when the coil wire broke off at
full throttle on my Ford. It died and like a big dummy I kept my foot
down until I got it over to the side of the road. When I got everything
fixed I cranked her up and....KABOOOOOM! All that raw gas got in the
muffler and a spark on cranking...new muffler time.
Hardly life threatening.
