I have a 2005 blaster just redid the hole top end new pistons gaskets n head spark plug also checked bottom and was still excellent cleaned carb gas tank and put new gas it takes about 15-20 kicks to start and also have it chocked why does it take so many kicks to start
 
For compression go to autozone and buy or rent a gauge. Then you screw it into the spark plug hole and kick it over full throttle till the gauge stops moving.
Reeds you take the intake off and inspect it, the petals should not be cracked or chipped at all, replace them if this is the case. If the reeds have a gap they will also need to be replaced.

Check the fuel flow from the petcock too.
