I dont think you have to do anything to carby, after all the mixer is actually a gas carby.Last year i changed from sprint gas to impco, the impco gives the best all round perfomance Ive heard....but not on the dyno.

mixer is gas carby....also nead converter ....
go straight gas.....as timming for gas is different to petrol
if you tune for gas it will run crap on petrol and vise versa....
