Some time the rings seize up and cause "lawnmower syndrome".It usually affects more than one piston though.
Remove all the spark plugs and add about an ounce of light oil. I use Mystery Oil myself. Disconnect the coil and rotate the engine a few times. Let it set as long as you can, about a day. Check your compression and see if that helps.
Good Luck!!! RK
