Betcha it starts on the first pull and runs fine. It may clatter for a few seconds while the lifters pump up, and you might get a puff or two of blue smoke.
Hahaha, that is what I would normally say but I'm with Gelbster on this one as far as draining the fuel and turn it over by hand and then with fuel pump relay removed first. It is not like these engines have proven to be overly tough to take anything. Might as well use a little kid gloves on them just to be sure.
