This one is easy: To illustrate the effects of not having a ground strap at
all, just remove the battery. The effect is the same.

On second thought, I realized I misunderstood your question. You were not
talking about ALL ground straps, only the one around the motor mounts. I
would like to revise my answer, but it will take a little looking into. Will
get back to you after I've had a chance to study it.
The quick answer is that none of the engine mounted components will work,
such as starter, coil, etc, but there is the possibility that these devices
will find another ground path. If so, turning the starter will most likely
burn out that ground path.
Apologizes for the "quicky" answer!
