With a warm engine, plugs out, hold the throttle wide open and pull until the needle on your gauge won't go higher.. usually 4-5 pulls. If your tester has a longer hose, it may take a bit more pulls as you have to compress the air in the hose as well. (short hoses are more accurate). If you test cold, the compression will be a little higher, as the cold oil on the cylinder walls creates a better seal between the rings and the cylinder...
