I'm not very knowledgeable when it come to carbs, but was thinking along the lines of jets and metering blocks. There's not many go fast and zero carb shops in my area.

Alky carbs are made to deliver lots of volume of fuel. Some have simply installed big main jets, and called it an alcohol carb. Some have modified metering blocks, boosters, and so on.

Sometimes, its best to sell a carb like that to someone looking for an alky carb, and buy a new gas carb.

they have to flow 40% more, so if was done correctly not going to be easy to go to gas, better off selling and buying a gas one...
