It’s not just the carb.
You need the following:
Low-compression pistons;
‘Hot’ (Distillate) manifold;
A way to start on gasoline and switch over to kerosene(or perhaps diesel) after running to heat up. This usually involves an extra tank to hold gasoline and a valve.
This will gain you really nothing except a pat on the back. And at a big loss in HP.
Others may disagree.

Good luck on ever finding the right manifold, good tank, and all of the necessary parts, as they are all junk by now!

A CA could be had as a Kerosene version. I have a NOS early type manifold. The carburetor would only need the jets changed. I have 1 New started tank from a batch I had made years ago. The heat shield I've never seen. I made one for my puller that runs on E85.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY
