Relic, you sound very experienced with such things. There is no decompressor on this motor, and I agree with Kato on kicking it several times. If the gauge has a check valve in it, it will record the highest pressure achieved. Nevertheless, you'll get a sense of how it's doing.
I wonder if that vent hose is at least partially clogged with goo. On another note, these engines aren't equipped with an oil screen, so oil must be changed regularly.
