First most automotive gauges have the schrader valve at the gauge and not at the end of hose. Due to low volume of compressed air usually around 21 to 31 cc (which is less than 2 cubic inches) it has to fill the flexible hose first to a pressure that would even open the valve at the gauge. Most times it barely opens the valve if at all. So a lot of the pressure it is lost as the piston passes TDC before the valve opens thus giving false readings. And even those gauges with the schrader valve at the end of the hose it takes multiple pulls at build up the pressure to gauge as the hose must first be fill with compress air. Then there is the schrader valve itself, it must be more sensitive to lower air volume unlike the one used for automobile engines.
Even the gauge I have here takes up to 10 pulls to reach max readings due to flex hose used and it is design for these smaller engines so it has a very sensitive schrader valve.
BTW automotive engine cylinders are a heck a lot larger volume wise in the first place.
