Default Low Compression ???

I have a DL-50 that is about two years old and it has very little compression. It may have always been this way just not sure? I can turn the prop by hand with little effort when it's cold and nearly freewheels when hot is this normal? It starts on about the eighth flip or so and has plenty of power. I never tried to start it while it's still hot but I can't see how it can. Is this normal for a gas engine or do you think something is wrong? I have it on a Cap232 27% and 23A vess prop. I used Lawnboy 32:1 during break-in and now use amsoil 100:1.
