My idea about converting cubic feet to pounds and then grams doesn't produce the correct values either.

Yeah, come to think of it carburetors are rated in CFM so I guess it might make sense to show a value of CFM.

They are probably using the 'ideal gas law' pV = nRT to convert the mass into a volume, so you would have to do the same type of conversion but in the reverse direction. The value for 'R' is a constant but depends upon the gas. Maybe you could wiggle that value to get your calcs to come out?
