Probably flooded.  Petcock may have been left on or doesn't shut off properly.

Well flooded is my guess. If it fired once just hold the throttle wide open & leave fuel off for now & kick. Then worry about what caused it later. She'll smoke lots till it dries out. Then again if its fuel going in & not the oil pump gravity feeding in it might not smoke bad, just be all rich running for 5 minutes.
