'86 CJ7 Shaking after ignition is turned off

I just bought this Jeep a few weeks ago and it was running just fine.About a week after I got it, I realized it needed a new carb as thefloat was stuck in the current one. I replaced the carb with a rebuiltone and it was running just fine again. Now, maybe two weeks later,all of a sudden when I turn the ignition off when I get home, theengine shuts off then maybe a fraction of a second later it startsshaking like it wants to start up again (sort of like bucking?). Ihave noticed the shaking is directly related to the amount of time Ihave been driving for. If I run out for a few minutes, it might notshake at all when I turn it off. But if I go for a half hour longdrive, when I go to turn it off, the engine starts shaking. Any ideaswhat could be going on? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!I have a 1986 CJ7 73K, 5 speed manual with an inline 6. Thanks, Jason

Water is corrosive and not the best thing to put into intake. Some have damaged engine from getting carried away with this. (water usage)

It produces a better smoke screen!
