Only if you have the carburetor, primed the oil pump, and the magneto is still working.

Magneto test. Spark plug grounded to engine block. Crank engine over 10 or 12 complete revolutions observing for spark.

Got spark, conduct a compression test. Need some compression on all cylinders for the engine to start.
I have an excuse. CRS.
