Re: compression

There is no "average", mudd duck. Because of such great variations in gauges, technique and testing conditions they can compress anywhere from 80psi to 150psi and still be equally healthy.

The main purpose of compression testing 2 strokes is to identify a bad cylinder or two. No matter what the rest compress, a bad cylinder will compress much less.

Because your engine shows all 6 nearly equal I would call it a healthy engine. Run for a while and warmed up it might give you numbers in the 120 range.
