If you are really interested in buying it and the seller is interested in selling it he might let you mess with it to get the compression numbers up. Tell him the numbers seem goofy and why you think they are like that and the way it stands now you arent going to buy it unless you can see if the engine is servicable. Bring a portable gas tank for the gas issue and start working on it. Then again the seller might not want to know if the engine is shot so he can sell it to the next guy with a clear conscience but its worth asking I think.
