Unhappy 405 poor performance

Hello
I have a 1992 405 GL 1.6 , which has pretty poor performance.

Apparently compression is low on a couple of cylinders, does anyone know if this is common and what it is caused by (valve, piston ring, gasket etc)

It gas a solex carb which i have heard is poor.

It has bad fuel economy too.

Basically any help will be greatly appreciated
