Some guys have gone extreme on this little engine and have added exhaust systems,milled down heads,etc. Plus clutch kits would probably give you more for your $ than a lot of the engine mods. I'd mix 40-1 with a good synthetic 2 stroke oil if you premix. Others I know will help you on this one,especially the "clutching gurus" on the forum!. OPT

Several clutch kits out there like helix,etc. Just Google em up!Plus some members may just suggest you change springs which would be the cheapest option. Hang on,you'll get the answers you need as soon as some clutch experts show up ! I mainly just repaired the broken ones guys brought into me! OPT

I had Rick send me a stage one kit for my trail boss. 4 stroke but made a big difference. Call or check out his site for pricing. Mine was done years ago and was 325 bucks. That included a new muffler, k&N filter, air box vents, jets and shipping. His advice alone is worth the phone call.
