Matt: Gosh, I wanted to be sure an try to help as old Fritz there seems pretty steamed that he had to drop in and save you. I did a quick search and it's his first post (hunting down ip's is now a hobby of mine), so he must think you're pretty special. Fritz, folks are generally pretty helpful here. After a few hundred posts of trying to help folks, I think you'll find you can't always find the time to be first. Anyway, Matt, first, the crank drives the cam, and the cam drives the governor shaft, which drives the mag. So, find out first what's not turning. If the valves are working, then the camshaft to crank link is still intact. Next, is the governor shaft turning? Apparently not, so you have lost the gear to gear with the cam like Fritz says, and if the bearing on the left side of the governor case fails/falls out, what have you, the governor shaft can lift up and skip a tooth, or many teeth. When you rocked it backward, it probably settled back down into the gear, and gave you some indexes. Sounds like the drivers side governor case bearing, or the gear somehow fell off the shaft!
