I'm not sure I totally agree with this assessment.
You've got to ask "what is the ignition source?" when the engine is running on and on long after the coil is de-energized.
The source of ignition is often some abnormally-hot item in the cylinder. It's just a matter of finding out why that item is abnormally hot and correct that issue.
Having said that, didn't they put an anti-run-on solenoid on some carbs to kill the fuel source to prevent post-shutdown dieseling? I guess they threw in the towel on actually solving the root of the problem...
