Default Update to the Dieseling

I don't think I have any carbon deposits in the carb, but I have noticed something lately...While driving, the car idles pretty smoothly when its cold-warm...When the engine reaches operating temp, the engine idles a bit rough. Could the dieseling problem and the idling problem be linked somehow?

I have no idea but my brother who is sitting next to me says it sounds like a mixture problem. He says it might be a little rich and yes they definatly could be linked. (However I have learned not to take suggestions from him ;) )

haha, thanks a lot...How would I go about checking to see if it is running rich? And could this develop over time? Because we've had the edelbrock carb on there for about 4 months...it just started dieseling recently.
