Checking the compression is the correct thing to do.

Here is a couple of simple things that I would do though if I didn't have access to a compress tester. You can roll the engine over with the coil unhooked and see if the engine sounds like it is rolling over unevenly. That is a sign that one cylinder does have compression.

You can also roll it over using the crank and hear it blowing back through the exhaust if a valve is leaking.

The third thing that you can do is pull the rocker arm cover and see if all the valves are returning. You could have a valve that is sticking and not closing all the way. Got lucky with one tractor by using some penetrating oil and lightly taping the top of the valve with a hammer until it came loose.

Not the most scientific approaches, but they have worked for me in the past.
