Compression Tester

Effective compression ratios of piston port two strokes are typically much lower than an equivalent four stroke of the same bore/stroke so there is no apples to apples comparison. Typically two strokes are anywhere from 5:1 to 7.5:1.

I use the Acton Professional Compression Tester CP7828A which comes with the important 10mm adapter. This tester was about $39 at Summit Racing.

OR a slightly different version here for even less.

I also found that the CP7828A with all the adapters is a good go to tester.

I also have couple homemade types that are accurate buy usually reach for the 7828A.

If I happen to get a suspect low reading I can then reach for a 2nd opinion tester.
