seems like i had a friend that done that once.. i believe it would would barely run if you throttled it, and backfired through the intake alot.. I know for a fact it was backfiring through the intake when trying to start. Hope this helps

Howdy! Yup, what he said. BTDT. It would JUST barely keep running if you milked the throttle just right. Backfired a lot. It is real easy to make it run ruff and crappy by just switching around a couple of plug wires. BTDT, many times. Similar results from cracked or really nasty/dirty dizzy cap. John

3rd to confirm it will sorta kinda run... fart, burp, and protest the whole way though.

It will run, you just have to time it using #6 cyldr.

it'll run really crappy if its 180 deg out, if you had the spark plug wire switch up it would make it run bad to but more of a rough idle/ miss
