It'll lean out massively, to the point of being undriveable. That's if the carb is set up correctly with oil in, I suppose if it's been running hellishly rich it'll still run without oil.
Without oil starting is a little tricky as the piston flutters a little varying the mixture, but it should tickover and hold a steady speed - The problem is you can't accelerate as whenever you open the throttle the undamped piston shoots up far too quickly causing the lean out.
