150 is healthy, zero is not.

You must have valves not seating in the affected cylinders.

Time for a leakdown test, will reveal more than a compression test.

Don't even bother trying to restart the engine until your leakdown is under 10%.

Intake valve loss is heard through the carb throat, exhaust valve through the pipes, rings heard through the oil cap.
