Kohler 5CKM21 no compression in both cylinders

Finally got to go camping last week, started the genset to heat lunch, it started right up, ran for no more than 10 mins then died. Would not start again. Checked fuel pump plenty of fuel squirted out...

Can't find manual on that model but some had a automatic compression release that were made to work with a spring and/or exhaust gear. Have you tried calling Kohler?
