Check glow igniter battery. Always let the rig cool for about 5-10 before trying to restart after a flame out/shutdown. Most mills I've found have a temper if after running, you try to restart too quickly. Try very fine tuning on the LSN both richer and leaner. You may be out of tune a tad yet. Just a few ideas.

temps and humidity will change the way a nitro needs to be tuned. so if its 80* and 50% humid out one day, than the next its 90* and 80% humid. it will effect your tune and make it hard to start. try priming the engine before you start it and see if that helps. or just got back to factory settings and retune from there

you can get a compression tool at most any auto store, however I'm unsure if there are adapters that will fit in place of the glow plug. I'll search around to see if there is a RC model for testing compression.
