i deleted my post as after i wrote it, i thought it was a bit hard on you! sorry! but you need to get a manual for what ever motor you are trying to work on, and look things up. whoever told you to do a compression test that way should be shot! you can get hurt real bad if that thing ever started, and you had a hand or something in the wrong place when it did!
first thing is get a good battery, then do the compression test, i said no worry about the water pump till you knew the motor is worth your time. you could start for a short period before it over heats and be fine, just turn water on for the little it will pump.
check the pee hole, mine was not pumping any waster out and all i needed to do was stick some stiff wire in it to get the mud wasp out, very comon problem.
ask all the questions you want before hand!! cause something you might think is small can ruin a other wise good motor. there are some real smart guys on here that know there stuff and will help!~
