There is no need to stop the fuel flow.
The Austin Seven starter can be operated without having the ignition on so there is no need to disconnect the coil either.
You need the throttle fully open while doing the test so you might need a third hand (or foot) unless you can wedge the throttle fully open.
Provided your starter is accessible from under the bonnet you should be able to test the compressions, though a bit awkward. If it is inside the car two people are needed.
Screw in compression testers are mucg easier to use.
