Its possible when it tipped over oil got into the cylinder head.
Remove the spark plug and pull the engine over a few times
to get the oil out of the head. Put a new air filter on and use a new spark plug and the engine should start. It maybe a little smokey at first because you are still burning some of the oil off.
Hope this helps you.
