Compression test is easy. Go to local autozone. Rent or buy a compression tester. Unscrew spark plug. Screw in compression tester. Hold throttle wide open. Kick til guage stops moving.
 
Listen to the advise given to you here. These guys know their blasters inside and out.

If you want to feel the quiver on your thighs you have two choices. Listen and do or give the blaster to me and get an "experienced" girlfriend.

If compression is low you will need to rebuild your topend. Leaktest first though. If you have an airleak nothing you do will end with the phrase "I had the best ride today"

Well when the guy rebuilt it 2 weeks before I bought it, he may have not been the brightest but hey, nor am I on this stuff. I might have to take it to R&D. Besides my front right tires ball joint is broke.
 
I just don't wanna have to deal with a whole top end rebuild. Sounds terrifying but in reality it's probably something I could do. But unfortunately I have no time right now to get my hand on a leak tester. Then it's either my psi is fine and it's a bigger problem or my psi is low and I still gotta rebuild the top end.
 
If it was starting well 3 days ago, then either it has been operated with an air leak, incorrect jetting or little or no lubrication.

Other possible causes could be an incorrect float, idle or needle setting.

Is the vent to the fuel tank open?
 
Yes, first thing after I got the hoses hooked up I turned it to on. (don't know if the gas lines are correct though)
 
Idk. There's so many possibilities it's got me confused and aggravated. I'll just leave it to a mechanic
