Dave, I just finished installing my 225 cylinder from **** on my 96 KDX 200 and have a problem. while running the bike without the Kips shaft cover I notice that the power valve opens but doesn't shut on it's own. If I reach down and shut it it will close and my bottom end power is restored. The shaft doesn't seem to be bent or anything. Is it possable it could be twisted and the lever that sits inside the centrifigal advancer thigamajigger is out of place as a result? The lever is brand new as I replaced it after breaking it. Also, when I operate the power valve manually with out the top of the shaft connected to the power valve gear there seems to be alot of resistance. There's a point in the valve stroke were it seems to turn harder and then it gets easier. Does that seem normal to You?
thanks
kaw Bill
