Its usually done by a washer between the carb and the cylinder head which restricts the engine breathing. Take this out and put everything back.

Another way is a throttle stop that only allows the throttle to be opened partly. I think these unscrew and unclip.

These only put out about 40 horsepower when new so I wouldn't expect too much of a different probably a bit more torque when accelerating.
