Loss of compression

My Feedback: (4)
Dave, I have a 2 yr old YS 110 with very little run time on it. Last winter, shortly after taking off the muffler fell off and I dead sticked it in. I recently tried to use it (with a new Muffler) and it seems to have very little compression (You can feel a little, but I can easily spin the prop with one finger)
Anything I should check, or should I just send it in?

Valves stuck, rings stuck? Pull the valve cover off, and make sure the valves move when turning the prop. Then, I would fill the tank, REMOVE THE GLOW PLUG and spin it up with the starter for a couple minutes. Be sure to do this at full throttle.
Put the plug back in and proceed as in a normal start up at low throttle. Bet the compression comes back.
