Does it run on starter fluid? Most compression testers come with the right "standard" size for ATVs. Yes...you need to hold the throttle wide open when doing the test...
After you ran it and it died did you pull the plug by any chance? If yes, was it wet or dry?

I’ve got it running 3 times so far and I believe I used starting fluid each time. One time it run for 2-3 seconds and died. The next two times I actually rode it around. And I’m pretty sure the plug was wet.

Head is fine imo.
If the base gasket isn't tore, you can re-use both gaskets.
While apart, you could try placing a rag on top and blowing air down around the crank. Usually it's together and we take the plug out, disconnect the wire to the coil, use rag, and spin motor till most is gone. Then apply full throttle till is starts and cleans out.
