That's called 'dieseling' and occurs due to any number of reasons, including but not limited to -

Overheating or plain running hot
Low quality gasoline
Fast idle
Vacuum leak
Incorrect ignition timing
Burned valves
Carbon buildup anywhere in combustion chamber

you forgot to mention the anti dieseling solenoid....
this and the carb not adjusted correctly..

I have seen this solenoid bind up then the throttle plates stay open...
