Default converting YS 160 or 170's from glo to gass?

Does anyone have any experience of converting a YS from glo to gas? Given the price of decent 20/20 or 30 rated fuels in the UK, plus a definite move across to electric by a lot of the F3a guys which has resulted an fair amount of 160's and 170's coming onto the 2nd hand market, it would seem that converting one to gas/petrol might be worth looking into.........................? Fuel induction system too complicated a task?

Any thoughts?

The ignition is the simple part. The fuel system in a YS engine contain a silicone diaphragm that does net react well to gas.
