Help,

I have a 1980 MGB that recently had the engine completely rebuilt but now it 
won't shut off it continues to diesel (motor on) after turning off the 
ignition.

Here are the details of the engine 18V

Pistons are .030
Spark Plugs NGK BPR6ES gapped at .035
Distributor is a CEI factory one with new (NOS) Amplifier
Carburetor is a Weber DGEV
Timing has been set at 10 BTD at 1,500 rpm

The only emissions items on the car are the carbon canisters which are 
connected to the breather on the side of the block and the breather on the 
top of the valve cover.

Things tried

Change spark plugs have tried Bosch Super R0091, and NGK BP6ES
Set timing to different levels (+ - 5 degrees)
Change fuel type from 92% to 87% octane
Re-jetted the carburetor to .060 on the right hand side and .055 on the left 
hand side

The altitude here is 3,200 feet above sea level.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Scott
