I converted my 50 "H" to gas only over 20 years ago. The combination manifold finally cracked so bad, I had to get a new one. The heat shield was gone too, and baffle was siezed. I purchased a used "cold" gas manifold as I didn't think I'd ever get a dual fuel model. Cost me $140.00 Canadian for a used one in good shape. The internal baffle just helped to vaporize the distillate by allowing more heat around the carb base, along with the rad shudder for hotter coolant.
When I rebuilt the engine I put in domed pistons to raise the compression a little. I found there is an extra fitting in a dual fuel carb to accomodate the 1 gal fuel tank which was used for starting I am still using that carb. I often wondered if a super "H" carb would fit.
I also put in a new needle and seat at that time. Like others have said I probably could just drive her away, but I believe there is a minor difference in an all gas needle. In any event I'd never burn kerosene today as long as I can get gas
