Probably not or at least not without multiple jet and needle changes
As the others have already posted, you can really chase your tail on this sort of stuff. Basic problem is not that the engine will burn more fuel, but that the original airbox / intake etc cause more vacuum that pulls the correct amount of fuel from the float bowls. Going to pods gives you less vacuum in the carb venturi for the same engine speed, and consequently pulls less fuel up from the float bowls, hence the weak mixture. As a test / see, you could lift the needle in main jets by dropping the circlip two notches, setting the float height a couple of millimetres higher, turning the idle jets in by 1/4 from standard setting and using resisted spark plugs with resisted HT caps as well.It would push it toward where you need to be and at least see if it improves without significant cost. Edit;- also make sure the plugs are at their minimum specified gap too.
