Any potential problems/issues?

Jack,
I can't answer your first question, (yes I know it will lean
the engine, but how much?) but I can definitely say you can swap
mains on the engine. The only loose parts are the bowl, two floats,
and the little cylindrical filter over the jet housing. The only
fiddly thing is that filter which you want to make sure gets on
straight and doesn't get crushed. Not a big problem, just a little
fiddly. (Obviously you want to make sure you've got a good bowl
gasket before you put it back on.)
