I'm not too sure about tricking it, but If you can figure that out then you should have a 800cc fuel sipper. If not you can just throw the carb on there, and still get really good mileage.
Thanks for this post, and informative for a first post here. There is a thread on going about this over here, please add your input there, as well!
