Welcome to the forums. :)
Removing rollers and cutting the shoes is done to improve the holeshot.
Some like removing the rollers, some don't. I'd leave them alone and let the kid ride.
You don't need springs.

I do recommend the removal of the clutchs to clean. Check for flat spots on the rollers and grooves/gouges on the variator and the roller plate.
Rear clutch you check for bad bearings and lightly sand the contact patch on the shoes.
A good carb cleaning always seems helpful.

Ride the snot out of it. Need anything, we'll all help. Lots of good ppl in here. :)
