1988 Johnson VJ14RCCS

First pull it ran maybe 5 seconds, It feels like it has good compression when trying to start it but compression check says 20 lbs in both cylinders, Is there reed valves? Is there compression relief valves? Why is the reading exactly he same in each cylinder? Thank you, Ron

The reed valves have absolutely nothing to do with compression in the cylinders.-----Sounds like a blown head gasket to me.------Just 6 bolts ( plus a few other bits ) and cylinder head is off for inspection.
