Along with the components of the motor being dialed in, over choking will flood the motor and create the need to keep spinning the motor. An interesting fact about batteries is that the charge within works through osmosis. When starting, you use the upper portion of the charge. When that charge loses the ability to spin the motor. The longer you wait before trying again, allows the charge to distribute throughout the battery (high density on bottom, low density on top) and you could get another chance to start. The old adage "...wait a while and the battery charges itself..." has some truth to it, kinda.
