Help needed again, KIPS.

BDI:
The best way to veiw the valves and their timing would be to pull the pipe and the little plastic cover that covers the kips linkage on the side. Open the valve manualy and look in the exhaust port with a light to see if every thing opens and closes as it should.

if you have problem with valves the engine cylinder will have to be removed ,
you may be able to retime  the clutch side valve by removing the kips rod bush

I do understand what your said here Dave I'll give it a try.

Thanks guy's for the link to the pic's. Gives me a good idea what a pain this little problem may or may not be.
Really looks like I'm going to have to pull the head. Just want to make sure that everything is in good shape and not broken.

It least with the help I have gotten from you folk's gives me a clear pic. of what I'm looking at.

grywache:
I am going through the same problem, my valves were so carboned up that they would not open so I took the pipe off and sprayed some carb cleaner on it untill I could get it to move again. They move freely now but I was wondering how do you tell if it is worn or out of time?

Danger4u2:
Is this a correct statement?

If the KIPS valves are installed properly and they are not worn they can't get out of time.
