Normal is even on all three cylinders. The actual test # for compression varies depending on the gauge.

Re: Tohatsu M50D normal compression

Service manual states it should be :-

Cylinder Compression
psi [kPa / kg/cm2]

117 [800 / 8.2] ? 13 %

Place throttle in fully open position and crank engine with starter
through at least four compression strokes. Take reading for each
cylinder and verify specified pressure is obtained.
