I would soak them with some oil and see if the compression improves. The rings are probably seized in the grooves on the piston. Could be rust or carbon or a little of both. I would try an see if the engine will start if the compression improves somewhat. The engine heat may help to free up the rings. If this doesn't work those engine's are easy to remove the pistons. You would need to remove the ridge at the top of the sleeve with a ridge reamer. You could put a sleeve and piston kit in and it would last another 40 to 50 years with a little care. These engines are governed at 1500-to 1600 rpm's
and will run a long time with good maintenance.
