I'll throw my 2 cents in. Looking at that pic, it appears your throttle is partially open. Looking at that item, the vacuum chamber is built so that engine vacuum actuates that item pulling the idle up. Once the engine is shut off, that part loses a vacuum signal and the throttle closes more. Anti-diesel would seem to be the desired effect. I disposed of dozens of Quadrajets many years ago.
