Jim,

Running a two cycle engine without oil is disastrous, and will toast the 
engine.  Having said that, I thought that most engines with a separate tank 
like that have some sort of a low oil shutoff, to prevent exactly such a 
disaster.  If you have refilled the tank, make sure there isn't some sort 
of "reset" required if such a shutoff is present.  Hopefully it will be as 
simple as that.
