Compression Test - 1995 Evinrude Yacht Twin 8HP

I ran a compression test today and have 100 psi on the top cylinder and 90 on the bottom cylinder. Just wondering if this is ok.

Thanks!

It will run like that. I would be sure they are both wet with fuel mixture and check it again to be sure you are getting a good reading.

Those numbers are fine for a rope start engine.
