I found this to be the case with the standard rocker switch and the ignition switch also.
In an attempt to cure my richness I turned the air screw up. Fine for a short while but then the engine ran away and neither switch would shut it off. All I could do to stop the engine was to stall it.
This was a while ago, and sorted now.

The bike has gone into diesel mode, using fumes from the crankcase as fuel, and red hot carbon deposits as the ignition method, there is probably an air leak as well.
