you will have to remove the 'wedding ring' washer in the variator
WARNING: the variator nut is reverse threads!!
while you have the variator open  add some sliding weights.
you might want to step up a size or two on the main jet too.

remember the CDI will only allow just so many rpms  and if you want more
rpms (rpms=speed=maybe_break_wear_out_sooner) that can be done.

that said, how fast does it go now?
i own a scooter shop  with rentals ,sales& racing parts.
i also appraise scooters for KBB.

2005 veniceLX ~70cc~upjet~1.5k rpm springs & 7gr sliders

thanks for reply.
would like to get it up to 50mph.

do you know where to get parts in the uk or can you send over here.
as me son was pulled off his bike when some took of him, lucky they then fell off and run away.
but have damage the Throttle body/ switch on right hand side.
now throttle will not return to tick over.
