NO you cannot run it without all the proper rings inplace, make sure you have them on right too.

I agree ESPECIALLY if it is a four-stroke (which is proble the case if you have 3 rings) you are referring to. Each ring has a job....to create compression, wipe the oil down the sleeve (and up to I guess), and the oiler that allows for the oil to do its job.
If it is a older two stroke model and isnt performance orientated you can run 2 rings. I have motors that only have two rings on the new piston and the previous has 3 and vice vesa.
In your case I WOULDNT run it with out one unless you dont mind it biting the dust.

The major point here being don't run a broken ring and buy the cheap new rings instead of paying to have the motor fixed after that broken ring ruins a topend.
