	I'm just thinking aloud at the moment.. How possible would it be to convert an SU or Stromberg to use gas.. I would need to leave the throttle wide open and use it as a Variable Orifice mixer.. Like a BLOS gas carb, but at about £30 for an unused badly listed CD175 on ebay rather than £120ish for the BLOS. I'm struggling to envision how I'd need to make it work.. but someone must have done it. I'm going to study some exploded diagrams until it makes sense

	Not sure it would work ben cos the jet orifice for petrol is a lot smaller than the orifice you would need for vapourised gas to pass through. Even if you could get it to run I think it would be starved of fuel right through the revs range.
