GC,
In a four stroke engine, when you turn the ignition off and the engine
keeps running it's called dieseling. It can be caused by the timing being
off. I've heard of carbon build up in the cylinder can also get hot enough
to cause ignition. How this relates to a two strike I'm not sure.

2strokes will run on sometimes, usually from hot spots. early 70's
johnrudes actually had an anti reverse device under the flywheel to
prevent run on backwards.
in 75 however electronic packs/cdi had progressed past this point.
