we don't have that pic, normally the trans linkage is connected to bottom a nd accelerator to top but depending on how the cable or linkage works it can go either way. if you could send a pic back with linkage I could probably help,

you may be missing a piece for the spring they either bolt to the base of carb orthe intake manifold. It's been a while for me to remember stuff like that. make sure to try to take apic of bracketry If you have anylike at the back of carb.
