First of all sljimm, welcome aboard. :welcome: Glad to have you join us. :applause:
Now lets deal with your real question. Not knowing the motor manufacture it is near impossible to say if there is a way to convert it one way or the other. Some manufactures can be changed over, but I'm not sure all of them can without some uniquely made parts. So post some additional engine info and even post some pictures would be great. We all love pictures on here to help folks out with their issues...
