    Yes…low pressure numbers.

    The rings may be a little sticky and/or the cylinders may be very dry.

    I’d lube up the cylinders a tad with fogging oil as you mentioned.

    If you can get it to run, those compression numbers are likely to go up.

    Also, it’s a possibility the compression relief valves are not fully seated and the PO removed the lever to remedy…but without success????
