Yes, it can be done in the driveway, on the sidewalk, or even in the neighbors backyard .

OTC 5609 cylinder leak tester, plus a compressor. If you live near me and you have beer, you can borrow mine.

Re: Leakdown testing

On a non race 2 stroke the leak down will be in the 30-45% range due to piston ring gap. All should have right at the same leakdown reading if one is more than others that cylinder is suspect...and you will need a piston stop tool or make on from a spark plug.
