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...

I found which engine it is.
Found it to be a "KT-17" used on many riding lawn mowers. Some look like vertcal shaft, but yours is horizontal, Correct?
