Two weeks ago i purchased my first moped. The '77 Batavus Starflite. I got it for a steal, previous owner got it as part of a lot purchase and had little interest in fixing it. Now that I have the deep satisfaction of getting it running behind me, I want to squeeze every last bit of power out of that Laura M48...

There are 3 major changes I plan to make:

- bigger carb (i have the s8a encarwi, thinking about tracking down an S 22/25, or splurging for a dellorto 15:15)

- less restrictive exhaust (i got the 25 mph one now; hopefully finding the bigger one Batavus made, buying a performance exhaust seems kinda silly for such a slow ped)

- mill the head

so here's my questions:

- what is the logical first step?

- in what way will one change effect the other?

- what do i not know?
