Default 1995 slt 750 bogging down

New to this forum and think it is great value. Just purchased a 1995 slt 750 and it was running sweet out on the water and then it just died. I could smell oil burning and a bit of smoking. Didnt have enough power to pull ski biscuit. The middle plug was a little oily and the other two were ok. Really good vaccuum from front cylinder, a little less on the rear cylinder but none on the middle. Could it be crap on the reeds valve causing this or could it be a ring that has collapsed and maybe scored the piston. If this is the case how hard is it to change out a piston and ring set? I will do a compression test first. What compression is good out of this motor. I continued to use the jet ski for the rest of the day. It would take a long time to get it up and plaining and it would not get anywhere near the power it should. It continued to start up ok. Does anyone have any ideas?

your compression should be anywhere from 125psi to 140 and up
