Default is this engine any good? found in swamp

While searching for my downed plane yesterday, I found the remains of another bird. Not much there, I was in knee deep swamp water with heavy vine growth. I pulled out servos, battery and an RX, all had been in the water a long time but I wondered about the engine? It must still be there. I was already soaked so I reached in up to my shoulder and dug through the muck. I felt the end of the muffler. surprised how buried it was..

Anyway, I brought it home cleaned it off and its sitting in a jar of fuel.
It doesnt look to bad. I havent dissasembled it yet, any chance something like this will still work?

Its an OS 40 FP
