Will a piaggio zip 50 start without a battery?

Hi guys my moped has been sat for about a year, it stopped working one day but now I have time to fix it my battery is completely buggered. I have put fresh fuel in it and cleaned and checked the spark plug and the fuel is getting through fine I have cleaned the float and carb and the spark is strong, I was just wondering whether it would be possible to start it without a battery in it?

yes it will the ignition system is designed to run of a coil in the engine so as you kick it it produces power to make a spark.
the carburettor will be fuull of stale fuel and maybe have a blocked jet/jets
