wisa' my car a runnin after i'a turn it offa', dieseling? Options

[pete914]

so,
i'm running a carb on my engine and just recently i've noticed that after turning off the ignition it will turn over a time or two; kind of "rumble" to a stop.
i've also noticed that my idle is kind of high, but not always. sometimes it idles around 900...usually it's at 1200...and recently it's been getting "stuck" around 1500
could this have anything to do with the electric choke? i was told to depress the gas pedal once before starting it to activate it.
i checked the accelerator cable, no hang ups or anything.
here's a pic of the carb. i know it's a POS, but the car is running great, it's just the idle and the every-so-often cut off weirdness that's bothering me.

nonetheless, i'm considering putting a d-tronic on my 1.8...i have the FI in my garage...but should i just wait and get the proper l-tronic system? that would be another $250 out of my pocket....worth it in the long run?
can't decide!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Idle issues = possible intake leak

And you can pull your air filter off when the engine is hot and see if the choke is getting stuck or not opening all the way.

Lastly. Those weber 32/36/ DGV or DGAV carbs SUCK on a 914.
Fuel puddles really bad in the intake runners as they are horizontal to the heads.

Those carbs were made for a Ford Pinto. Not a 914.

But if thats all ya got.. run it.
Until you can get sumpin better.
