Default LT80 tips to make quicker

Hey guys,
We just picked up another LT80. The first one came modded already. It has a fmf shorty pipe on it and seems to have no rev limiter. This second one that i just picked up is completely stock and completely slow. Power cuts out early (rev limiter). Im just curious as to what i can do to make it quicker. How do i get rid of the rev limiter? Obviously a pipe would be a good idea too. Is there any pipes out there that are better then the fmf shorty?

Thanks a lot
Steven

thanks for the tips! I will try cleaning the carb. However it is practically brand new so i dont think its going to be that. The guy told me that he put a restrictor on it. It was for his kid and he didnt want him going too fast. Where do i look?

took out the restrictor in the exhaust. It is about 10 times as fast now. Thanks for the help.
