I have been told that doing a compression test on a cold engine will lead to false readings, due to the rings being dry and without oil.

Greendread should adjust the valves, do a tune up, change the oils, and all of the other nitpicking things that he knows he should do but has put off for a while. When he gets the carbs back, make sure the throttle linkage is nicely lubed, the PCV working, and then start it up.
