Default Help!!!

Ok, so I bought a mini chopper(see my post in that area) and the briggs 5hp I also bought has a tank on it. I want to run the tank from my chopper, but the way the carb is set up on the briggs, I cant. I went on ebay and bought a walbro carb for a 5hp, and not knowing much, when it got here, it didnt have a throttle spring. I took it in to the local hardware store, and come to find out, its a briggs 5hp VERTICAL carb, and I have a horizontal motor. More to add, it only has one setting, full open. I was wondering if anyone has jerryrigged one of these, I will post a pic of what I am thinking of doing a little later.

here is that pic, it will be a flange into the carb, and the two posts sticking out will probably just get plugged, the carb will be gravity fed.
