Since you don't have a compression tester gauge, if you have a finger handy.................
Pull both plugs. Stick your finger in each hole and crank the engine. You know one cylinder has enough compression to run. How does the other one compare.
Move your spark plug wires away from your hand so you don't get a false reading.
If the problem was lack of fuel, pulling the choke out a little while it's running should smooth it out.
