I advise you to turn it off by shutting off the gas and letting her starve out and die and then open the throttle wide open and leave it set there afterwards. On my hand starters Ive done it that way for yearssssssss and its proven to be the best for easy hand starts.

As you say, others may have different methods and opinions, all I can say THATS WORKED BEST FOR ME, so its your tractor and your choice so go for it however you wish.
