So when it parked over night, then do not start? Did starter turn over? Or just a click. Did you throttle too much gas? May be flooded with gas. Did you try running jump start?

1st or 2nd
Gear should do...don't give it anymore gas...may be flooded/no air/no start...

Spray a bit of starting fluid into it and see if it takes off. If it does, you'll know you aren't getting fuel.
If it doesn't fire, I would try cleaning or replacing the plugs. They probably need it anyway. And bump starting is usually best done in second gear.
