When i get a new kit the 1st thing I do is take the exhaust off and take the screen out of it. they put ir in there for the e.p.a. rating. It gets clogged up and will make your engine run weak from not being able to push out the exhaust. I took my buddies out of his and when i took the exhaust off the exhaust port was clogged with from carbon built up and oil. We took out the screen cleaned the exhaust port and it ran like it was brand new!!
I used a part of needle nose pliers to pull it out. Be careful not to bend the metal getting the screen out. I have seen people take a screw driver and try and pry it out and they bend up there exhaust so dont try it. You can use snips to cut the screen and then pull it out or just pull it out.
If your kit seems to be running weak and you haven't removed it yet. Try it out. My friends kit sounded worn out i pulled the screen out and it worked great! My kit is a 26cc friction drive kit. 2stroke
