Lose 3/4's of your weight or do a motor swap.

Just lost 20 lbs... but doubt I'll be able to get down to 46 lbs any time soon.
I have it tuned pretty good. Just changed belt and did a full carb clean...helped mid and high,but low is same.
No mods that will help - other than Dio swap?

Trustworthy friends?? Where do I find one of those? 
I'm at about 175 and its not doing well untill I hit about 12mph. My daughter - at 110 - rode it and it was still very slow on take off. And uphill... fegedaboudit. Unfortunately, I live in a hilly area
I'll have to check my airbox/intake again... make sure I got it hooked up tight.

Spree's have low end power? Since when?
Get a big block and the carb, intake and adapter from Tazland001. Other than that you are NOT gonna have low end power with a Spree. Or get a variated engine and swap it in to the Spree.
