I'd say about 115 psi or more if cranked with the throttle wide open, but what's more important is the variation between cylinders. I think my old '75 115 Evinrude generally checked between 115 and 130. The smaller the variation, the smoother the engine will run. Variation should generally not exceed 10%.
