Just dive in and do a general clean up and port match.
If you like the results, send me $50 dollars.

Seriously, simple gasket matching is easy to do yourself and can have quite good effect on stock power plants like your tanaka.
Just don't touch the actual port opening into the cylinder. You can open up the ports from a few cm away from the piston out to the gasket without any risk of changing timing or ruining your engine.

Just a word of caution from someone who has had plenty of experience with the 47R.........beware the exhaust port has very little meat or room for improvement. That is why Tanaka made the 47R as their race engine over the standard 47cc. I have broken the exhaust ports of at least two 47R's because there is so little material for strength and support of the HP expansion chambers also made for this engine. The 47R is not produced by Tanaka anymore and I seriously doubt they have any jugs left if you mess yours up.
Get the standard 47cc and port it.......you may be able to match the power of the 47R at best. Best of luck!
