Lawnmower syndrome typically has zero compression because of the washed rings. A cold engine will have compression down below 150psi at times.

Adding a table spoon of oil to each cylinder (use a drinking straw for no mess, insert into oil and put finger over the top and then dump it into the hole) will increase the compression enough so the engine will fire up.

If you suspect that the intake cam is off, and there are 3 bolts to hold it in place, you are in unchartered territory.
