She used the Malossi kit. She did not replace the carb, but did put in slightly larger jets. Don't remember what size. Added an Arrow exhaust. Changed the rollers to 5.6 grams.
And that's it.
We have recently moved from the US to Greece, and our scoots won't be here for a couple of months. She's really going through withdrawal! Didn't ever show any interest in her own scoot until she saw the Yesterday three years ago. Was always content to ride on the back of mine. I bought her the Yesterday for her 62nd birthday. It's her pride and joy.
