Restarting Grillo after letting go of the "dead man" safety switch?

[CodeMonkey]

I always have trouble getting my Grillo 107 restarted after letting go of the safety switch on the clutch handle. I sometimes get into a spot under trees or bushes while mowing, where I just let the tractor go because I don't want to follow it, and the switch kicks in. Then I often have problems getting it started again.

I don't have this problem when I use the kill switch.

THoughts on why this might be?

Probably flooding from continuing to draw gasoline without a spark. Letting go likely grounds the coil. Turning off the switch may also shut off fuel flow.

Let it sit for a couple hours. Would not start. Let it sit for a week. Still would not start.

Thanks. I will check it out. It has done this before and it has always been hard to start after I used the dead man's lever, but it usually starts again eventually. One time it didn't but it was getting near winter so I just parked it and it started again months later.
