Running the engine without the lower unit means it will have no water for cooling so you could do serious damage to it. Use a spray bottle to squirt a fuel/oil mix into the carb. If it starts you have a fuel delivery or carb problem. If not, you need to check compression and make sure you have good hot spark at all cylinders.
