Just FYI. Make sure the washer is on the side with the compression release lever. Some early engines had a washer on both sides until the folks on the assembly line were re-educated to only put a washer on the side with the compression release. The washer is only there to keep the compression release lever from rising up.

Before you take the top cover off again, (and I should have thought of this before), take the rocker cover off and remove the spark plug. Turn the engine over by hand and watch the valve movement. See if the valves are opening and closing when they're supposed to. Also see if the intake valve is getting bumped open on the compression stroke.
