I have dealt with this a lot over the years - factors contributing to dieseling or run-on include

- increased compression ratio
- increased idle speed
- low fuel octane
- excessive ignition advance at idle
- carb rich
- hot spots (in particular fouled plugs)

Try lowering your idle to around 750-800 rpm, and advance to around 12 degrees max at idle, and make sure you are running unleaded premium fuel.
