Re: need help fast
If your timing is not set right, or your idle is too lean, it can build too much heat in there, causing something like a sharp edge, or a carbon build-up, or even part of the spark plug, to get hot enough that it keeps igniting without the regular spark. This is called dieseling or run-on. I'm not sure this is what you have, but this is possible.
