Default outboard repair advice needed: bad compression

1970's Suzuki Spirit 8. A 2 cylinder 8hp engine which won't fire. It
has gas and spark but the top cylinder measures 50lbs and the bottom
cylinder measures 105lbs. Is there any way the cylinder could have
gone bad just by sitting unused for two years. Is 105 about right? The
seller said it ran fine when I bought it. I know it's dumb but I just
got around to trying to start it. I need to find a ring kit for this?
Any ideas?
