I don't know a lot about Hondas but if you don't get at least a sputter like it's tring to run then my guess is an electrical problem ,does it turn over when the starter cycles? Do the head lights come on ?

do you have spark, fuel.?? compression should all be close to the same, but ok for used and after you run it a bit, compression may come back up.
