to run alky its a good idea to take out the ball and drill the hole larger in the fuel cap.also want to run a dual pingle valve.to convert the carbs you need to drill the dump tube out larger, change the needles and put power jets in the carbs.if your not going to be racing it, not really worth the hassle imo.after everyday you ride, its a really good idea to perge the carbs with gas.i've ran it on my shee i had in the past,but all i did was drag race
