Boy, did I mis-read that. I saw cylinders 3-4-5 were low, and somehow
saw higher numbers on the remaining ones.

Can valves stick open from lack of use?  That would be my next guess.
With the valve covers off, I'd squirt some PB Blaster on the valve
guides and let it sit. Repeat every day for a week, then put the valve
covers back on and give it another try.
