Sounds like you are burning an accumulated amount of fuel built up in the crankcase. Big industrial two strokes can do this leading to a ‘runaway’ engine. I would be looking at seals, gaskets and float chamber levels.

Some fun with a RAP single cylinder semi-diesel. It fires, runs away despite fuel being shut off and rags stuffed over the crankcase air intake, but away it goes!
