I've seen a number of threads from Rotarygod that advise that a push start will always work; it's a matter of spinning the engine long enough to clear the excess fuel and re-establish a compression seal, iirc. As far as a rolling start, it might be a matter of how long your hill is! :D

If the plugs are fouled though, no amount of pushing or cranking is gonna help.
