Well, I don't know much on the subject, but I did notice that in the John Cleese episode during Two Lost Souls. I saw that whenever his mouth was moving, one arm would lay limp, so I think he just switched between his mouth and arm. But that's just my two cents, I'm probably no help.

the mouth is operated by the person inside the costume the suit is made loose enough so they can slip their arm in and out of the sleeve to move the mouth, also the mouth appears to spring to the closed position when both arms are moving which would open and close a bit with the movement of the performer.

Yeah...what Lab Rat said.
