To take an accurate compression test the motor needs to be fully warm and the throttle fully open. Cold and/or the throttle closed will cause low readings.

Should be right at 100. You may want to put in a set of rings. You can take the glaze off the cylinder w/ 600 grit emory paper, and a good oil. ONLY CUT in a circular motion around the inside. Never from top to bottom
