KIPS not working at 6000 RPMS +

Problem:

In checking out my rebuild, I marke a spot on the advancer shaft and watched it while I revved the engine...nothing happens, but the shaft isn't loose or anything. Any ideas where to check it? My gut is telling me that perhaps the mechanism off the main cog isn't working right.

Questions:

1) the KIPS should operate even when in neutral, right?
2) what should the shaft "feel" like after reassembly? when I try to operate mine by hand it is popping out of position in the case then it feels loose and freely turns (not good, right?)

Thanks, fellas.

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I said fresh, but it's been broken in. I have had this entire mechanism apart (so definitely something I did, no doubt). Gorr did the porting on it while it was apart, so I'm sure the top part of the KIPS was done properly and it does move freely when the bear-claw isn't attached. I'm guessing I haven't put it together right, but will take the cap off to inspect while I'm headed down the road.

Something else occurred to me when realizing this was centrifugal...wonder if anyone has tried to find the ball bearing type weights in a different weight to alter the KIPS point of engagment? Seems that heavier would make it open sooner and lighter would go later.

UPDATE:

As it turns out, I did do something wrong during reassembly, but not sure exactly what. The spacers and needle bearings were slightly warped and the governor pin was scored. To troubleshoot: I knew what the bike felt like the way it was, so I disengaged the the bear-claw on the shaft that operates the KIPS in the top stuff and manually opened it. The bike ran like Fido's butt till I got about 4500 RPMs (guessing) and then Shazaam!!! I got to see what EG's porting was supposed to feel like...4th gear wheelies were no problem and I know when back together, this bike will mortally fly! So that was it. :thumb:
