Answer to first question: No.
2nd question: There's a 4160 to 4150 conversion kit available. It takes out the metering plate and puts in a metering block with replaceable jets. That's what I did to mine. Makes the carb slightly longer, so if you have a dual feed hard line, you'll need a longer one.

The metering block allows you to tune by changing jets, that's all.
I converted mine before it ever got wet, so I can't give you before & after comparisons.
