Jump Starter Solenoid??
I want to do a compression test on my 200 cu in 6-cylinder. I have no one to help me (turn the key). Will it hurt anything to jump the solenoid just to crank the engine over a few times?

that's perfectly ok.
if you are on your own make sure car is out of gear, block the throttle wide open with a piece of wood in the linkage or brick on pedal. whatever you have
there's even remote starter switches, which is basically two cables with clamps and a push button.
when jumping the selonoid disconnect the cable at 'S' terminal of selonoid. to bridge it connect battery side of selonoid with 'S' terminal.
