The cotter pin nut and washer should face upwards (forwards).
Make sure the flats are aligned, knock it with a hammer...its tapered.

Just to add to Caulky's good post...

After a few kicks, if the kickstart lever/pedal is loose on the shaft (you can tell by trying to move it forward), then bring it forward all the way, and give the cotter pin a few more taps with the hammer from the rear, and re-tighten the nut.
