If it wouldnt start but was able to be push started, it was most likely flooded. Sounds like a hot start problem, check compression first. If compression is good get the injectors cleaned.

Also if you are using a comp tester that holds the peak if it has a pressure release button just hold it in while you test the comp. If it doesn't have the pressure release button you should be able to remove the check valve on the connector end with a valve stem puller
