Default Compression Question

I recently "resurrected" and old super tigre 51 that i had put away about 10 years ago, i probably should have left the glow plug in it, it was pretty gummed up.... It took me a while to get the engine loose, now its smooth again, but there is one difference i noticed, hardly any compression. i remember it having way more back in its days. Could leaving it in storage for that long with out oil cause the ring to lose its seal? Do you think firing it up will get it back to its original condition compression wise?
