I rececently got a '77 Motobecane 50v that's in beautiful condition. It wasn't running when I got it, but a new plug, a little cleaning, and a carb rebuild later and the thing is running awesome. However, I'd kinda like it to run a little faster (it's the 30mph model, and accually tops out at around 32-33). I know that with a 2-stroke engine you really shouldn't deconstrict the air intake or the exhaust for fear of messing up the balance of the exhaust/intake, and I'm pretty sure that even if I did that the gearing (that huge pie-plate of a gear) wouldn't allow greater speed anyway. So is there any way that anyone can think of that'll get me another couple mph out of it? Thanks!
