I have never converted any engines so I am looking for easy way.
Thanks.
Using the stock carb with a throttle servo slow down of .7. Conversion requires adding ignition and providing gas fuel tank disciplines including gas stopper in tank, felt clunk pickup, and fuel lines that will survive gas.

I've a lathe so make my own timing rings and fabricate my own pickup mounting and purchase ignitions on Ebay. Commercial conversion kit packages are available from Adrian at CH Ignitions. There is a short list of pros and cons to conversions, and if needed the list can be repeated.
