I have seen a few small engines that the factory uses different sized carbs on them to change the horse power output.

When I worked in the Marine business ,that was the case on a few of the Evinrude and Mercury outboard motors. Seen it on lawn equipment as well.

Check out the next model up, maybe a simple carb swap will next you a horse or two ... eusa_think.gif

2 stroke?
If so, there are companies out there that make custom expansion chambers specifically tuned to increas power at different rev ranges.

That's where I would start.

pete , there isn't a way known to man that will get that poor scooter over 25mph with you on it......I think I saw some where 7lbs equals 1hp, at that rate it has negative hp......

What kind of scooter is it? There is TONS of hotrod stuff out there for 2 stroke scooters. Big bore kits, bigger carbs, high comp. heads, you name it. Just Google the model of the scoot plus "performance parts".
