Keep in mind that compression test #s vary with engine temp, the best way to do it is to warm the engine up on the water hose, open the throttle all the way up and disable the ignition. If the engine was not warmed up or the throttle not opened you could get lower readings . I would not worry with those readings, I'd go more by how it runs....low compression from sticking or burned valves will almost always cause a miss at idle and lack of power that will be pretty obvious. If it idles smoothly and runs well then it's probably fine....
