Yes, no problem.

I would think that you would have to put the Propane thru a regulator set to a 
much lower pressure than the gasoline regulator is set for, just because the 
viscosity of the Propane gas will be less than the liquid gasoline. This also 
give you the opportunity to adjust the Propane richness independent of the 
gasoline. This should just take a switchover valve and a second pressure 
regulator, which shouldn't be too big a deal. You may need to shut off the 
gasoline overflow line also.

I would think that trying to run a carb on propane wouldn't be possible. The 
float valve won't ever close, so there would be no control of richness, plus 
lots of propane spilling out the float bowl vent.
