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 a couple other manuals. They show overhead push rod type engine with gear driven camshaft off crankshaft.
I would pull easy to get to valve cover. Check to see if the valve rockers move.
