you can energize the solenoid by jumping the the red and yellow wire - this will spin the starter without giving any spark to the engine - you can do this to test the compression.

Thanks SkiDad for the link and info.
I'll hopefully get to do this this weekend.
Is it OK to spin the motor over with the lower unit removed?
I just ordered the water pump and gasket Wednesday, it should be here next Wednesday. I hope to do some more electrical testing in the meantime if it's OK to spin it over without the lower unit.
If I should wait, then I'll probably refresh the trailer bearings.
