Briggs & Stratton 20 hp vanguard

B & S 20 hp vanguard. was running about 30 sec and the running rough and the shutting done. Does this over and over again. Found a loose hose clamp at gas filter and tighten it.
Will not start at all now. Put a spark plug tester on both spark plug wire to spark plugs and spark is seen on tester. Spark plugs looked wet so I put new ones in. I took off the air cleaner and used canned starter fluid and the engine made no response what so ever.
I will do a compression check next. Not sure how to check the timing. Engine has about 900 hrs on it.
Any other suggestions.
Thanks Gareth
