How to get a bit more power from my 49cc scooter?

Question

I own a new Four Stroke 49cc scooter I am happy with its speed of 37 to 40 mph but it's very poor in power when getting onto the road in town. I wanted to know if there is any adjustment I could do to the carb or any other part to get a bit more of a boost in acceleration?

Answer 1

It's not a very powerful engine, you know, and if you do too good a job, you could violate the terms of your license or permit.

Answer 2

If you want higher acceleration, you can change out the roller weights in the CVT.  New weights are pretty cheap, about $30 a set.  you will need to weigh the current weights to know how far to adjust, but about 2-3grams less or more is pretty common.  Theres a guide here:
