Re: compression test
It is best to remove all of the sparkplugs. That way you are not fighting against the compression of the others. Also block the throttle wide open....and yes, disable the ignition.

Re: compression test
Also best if performed with engine at or near operating temperature. Let the engine run 4 cranks and take reading.
