That is so cool great score, so much fun too! I picked one up years ago for my niece and added some training wheels and a "Limiter" in the carb just a tube to limit how much the throttle opened. Oh and if you want to get a bit more out of the brakes just swap the levers to BMX style alloy ones - makes a world of difference! Hope you have a blast.

Mufflers on a two stroke?, sounds like a reason to pull the insides out, turn the main jet out 6 hours and hold on a little ( no pun intended ) tighter!!
