It's not that your propeller gets jammed, it's because you didn't engage the flywheel to the engine. (They didn't bother adding it in BoP like '46.) Like most radial 30s planes, and other planes in WW2 (109s for example). When starting the engine, there was a crank for the flywheel. Wind it up enough, and then either flip a switch, push/pull a small lever, and you've got a roaring engine ready to go. But all you're doing in BoP is cracking the flywheel, and instead of making a little ticking sort of sound when wound up, they just put the engine sounds. So you don't actually restart it, it just sounds like you do.
