84 CB700CS compression

I just purchased an 84 CB700CS with 24,00 miles in good condition overall and found 2 cylinders with lower compression.
4-85
3-130
2-125
1-30

I have not gone further with the diagnosis yet but hoping for information on common or possible problems for these bikes.

Thanks, Joel

IIRC (and I am getting old) the CB700S engine uses hydraulic valve lash adjusters (same as the CBX750F that I owned back in the day). May be an issue with an adjuster that is keeping a valve part open?

Having worked on a 84' Nighthawk 700 recently, I can confirm that it does have hydraulic lifters. Shaft drive, frame front down tubes used to move oil to and from the cooler, gear indicator, gas gauge, (for the day) state of the art fork tech, superior build quality.
Good call on a stuck lifter.
