Ya got my mental images stirring there, Alesia!!

My guess it that it won't take that much to get it going again.  Maybe some 
fresh points and/or plugs.  But!  You probably DO want to do an oil change 
SOON.  If it was being started and run on chokes, and turned off again - 
there is probably a fair amount of gasoline that has gotten into the 
crankcase.  Now, if you get it started right away and get it good and warm - 
DRIVE it for a while - maybe you'll burn that gas off.  But, at least 
consider changing it now.  Maybe can bypass (not change) the filter for the 
moment - just get the gas out of the bottom of the engine.
