proper compression for tecumseh 6.5 hp craftsman mower?

what is proper compression for a craftsman 6.5 hp lawn mower. Runs great, just rebuilt re-finished, just doing checks on engine. Starts on 1st pull every time. Want to ensure proper compression.

Not easily measurable due to the action of the compression release mechanism. If the engine runs and starts, you can safely assume it's OK.

As a rough and ready test, spin the engine BACKWARDS. The compression should blow your thumb off the spark plug hole.
