Sounds like an Air/Fuel Issue. Try adjusting your carb, and take a little

off the idle too, it might help. You are probably running too rich, I had

a similar problem with a van..but it might be something else though.

I used to have problems with run-on. I turned my idle down and it helped. If I use "regular" unleaded I still run-on, mid-grade or premium and it does not.

If you are running rich there may be carbon deposits that are causing the run-on. There is a fuel cut-off solenoid available for Webers that will prevent run-on.

Hope that helps.

die. I was using a heavier wght. oil for a bit and when I went back to the sae30 it got better.

I was running a bit rich when I dyno'd the car last year, then I re jetted (weber 32/36) and it helped a little bit. When it 'diesels' I also get a pretty big knocking too. I have an oxygen sensor and a A/F ratio gauge but I haven't had a chance to install them.

Get the idle fuel cutoff solenoid. It's wired to 12v switched and when you turn the car off, the idle circuit shuts off, no fuel = no dieseling.

Goodluck.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
