You don't say how long since you set the valves. Check for a spark, and check compression again, if there is no spark, you have the dreaded "only sparks when I take my finger off the button" problem, no known cure. If compression is down, re-set the valves.

it’s been about 2 weeks ago. With maybe 4-5 hours of riding time before the problem started again. And what the dreaded only sparks when I take my finger of the button??

"only sparks when I take my finger off the button?"
Exactly what it says, you take the plug out, re-fit the cap and spin the engine over on the starter to check for a spark, and:- it only sparks when you take your finger off the button.
If the valve has closed up again, sounds like a problem, and it may be best to take the head off and check why it is doing so. Loose valve seat? Stretching valve?
