Engine tailpipe fire

Your thoughts please ladies and gentlemen on continuing with an engine start after a reported tailpipe fire. The Boeing C/L has us blowing air through the unit until the fire is reported extinguished, then what? Some say, "tow it back to the gate for an inspection" others say,"light it up again and lets keep going". The C/L doesn't really help, finishes with:
Tower and F/A's....NOTIFY.
