First off, congratulations on your win.

Secondly, do what I do.  Put the car in fourth gear and let the clutch =
out as you switch off.  Be sure to set the brake first.  My TR6 diesels =
even with the anti-run-on valve.  So does the TR3.

Fresh TR4 engine that does that "dieseling" thing after you turn off the

key  It like it tries to keep running but with a cough and then stops.  =
The

TR6 has an anti-run on valve to help with that.  What do I treat on a =

I won first place in the sports car group at the AACC winter national. =20
