kohler engine 18 hp

I have a Kohler twin 18hp. and it locks up on starting.  been through 3 starters in one year.  checked compression on each side and it was 150 on both sides.  set valve lash 4 times.  the schematics dont show an automatic compression release on this model.  checked flywheel key and its not sheared.  Any other info on what the problem might be?
