Default Super Tartan Twin

I was given, a Super Tartan Twin with less than 40 oz of fuel run thru it so the engine is virtually new. Old engine but never run.

My question to some of the "Conversion Guru's" I would like to install a CDI ignition system on this engine. I know that CH used to do conversions on them but again this is an old engine and not on the list of "Popularity" for Giant Aircraft. The engine is 44cc so its plenty of CC to haul most of the 80" to 85" Aircraft around.

If anybody has one that is converted, I would love to see pictures of the conversion.

Can the carb be drilled and tapped to put a smaller "Seat" for the needle? (Gas takes less than Alcohol)

I would like confirmation that the Cylinders are the same and can be rotated 180° to put the Exhaust and Carb on the bottom of the engine.

Why is the big Preheat Duct behind one of the cylinders run into the Carb?

I would like to make a viable Gas engine from this twin if possible.

Last question, do the cylinders need to be Shimmed to lower the Compression when going to Gasoline.

Tnx..
