The conversion on my generator was pretty straight forward. One of the key things I had to figure out first was the natural gas pressure from my gas meter. Lucky for me, my gas meter from teh gas company was set at 4oz or 7" WC. Which is right in spec with the Garretson regulator was that came with my generator. If you don't know what pressure your natural gas meter is. You can call your local gas company. They would be able to tell you what your meter pressure would be.
These are the parts I used for my particular situation to convert my WGEN12000DF to be able to use natural gas.
Gas meter is 4 oz (7" WC) pressure
