Personally,
I pull the heck out of it until I get the HIGHEST reading on the gauge, then repeat on the other cylinder.

Those gauges are notoriously inaccurate. How close the readings are will give you the best indication of internal condition. It's a two stroke, so just take out both plugs when doing your test, and don't worry about the throttle being open.
Post your test results.
BTW, why are you doing a compression test? What's it not doing that you want it to do?

Re: How To? Compression

The flip answer is "not running". I'm building one 7.5 out of two,a '75 and '76. One had a seized grearbox,dry with lots of white corrosion, and the other, a seized powerhead,stiff impeller ?.I've always read,first step with any motor is to check it.
