It should run with the cover off, look for a safety switch but I don't think there is one.

But it will stay running with the cover on? See if it hits any wires when putting it on.

Well, I trust what Js0816 is saying, I just never came across this. If you need the engine running with the cover off, find that safety switch.

Theirs no switch the only way to keep it running is by modification of air intake from air box to throttle body. I've done this you could always put it back not hard to do.
