No compression can be a few different things, from a bad valve, a broken valve, or bad piston rings. You are going to need to preform a leak down test to figure out what is going on and what is causing the loss of compression in the cylinder.
How can i check the
If you meant 'rectifier' then this can be checked with any multimeter that has the diode symbol available that looks something like this:
??I?
Having a cheap meter at home can serve you well on car and home electrical problems and need not cost more than $20 US and can cost a lot less if you shop.
Using that setting on a common semiconductor such as a diode or bridge rectifier (made of 4 diodes) can verify its condition quickly.
If you get (with many) diodes a reading of 500-700 in one direction and with the leads reversed an 'off scale' reading (looks like the probes are not connected to anything), it is likely that the part is OK.

One thing you might check....not real familiar with Viragos....but if your bike has the vacuum petcock...make sure the diaphragm isn't leaking and your vacuum line isn't sucking fuel into the intake.
As for the floats...if the petcock is fine....sometimes tapping the flat bowl of an overflowing carb with the plastic handle of a large screwdriver will free the float.

Hello. These symptoms are typically caused by bad fuel,or a gummed up carburator, If it has old fuel in it, drain that fuel and replace it with fresh. Also change the fuel filter.
If it is still not running right, get a bottle of carburator cleaner to add to the fuel and and a can of starter fluid.
Add the cleaner to the fuel based upon the instructions on the can. Then, remove the air cleaner and start it up. Keep it running for a couple of minutes by squirting some starter fluid into the air intake. Joe

Changing rear tire.Need instructions for
You should not have to unbolt the final drive assembly. Loosen the rear axle nut, take out the bolt, knock out
the spacer , lift the caliper assembly out of the way and hang it by a wire, grab the wheel, and slide it sideways away
from the final drive. The wheel should slide right off the spline of the
final drive and roll out the back under the fender. If the wheel wont
slide past the final drive let the air out of the tire. Be sure to coat
the spline of the final drive with moly60 paste available at your local Honda dealer when reassembling.

The starter turns but not
The one way clutch in the motor grabs a gear with a smooth cylinder sticking out of the side of it. The smooth surface of the gear is now chattered and the one way clutch will not grab it. You will have to replace the large gear and possibly the one way clutch.

Check your intake manifolds for air leaks . You may have a cracked manifold or you may have to replace the sealing o-ring.
