The two carburetors may not be and most likely are not interchangeable.
Operating the stove with a hotter or to be more precise a flame which produces more heat could cause problems.
It is tempting of course and I have done the same with propane by installing an adjustable regulator. We have turned up the pressure so we could heat water quicker for lobsters or noodles. It now puts out about twice the heat as it did before. We also use a lot more propane.
If the manufacturer does not have a recommendation either way there is only one way to find out.
