NO!!! because "turning over" means ONLY that.... no more. Whether it fires, or attempts to start, or not.
you can remove the carb, remove the points condenser and coil completely from the tractor. Take the head off too. Then hit the key. With all those parts gone, it is guaranteed not to start or run but the engine will still spin. It is "turning over".
It drives me nuts when people think that "turning over" somehow means it fires up and tries to start and run.
