Briggs 3hp carbs

[Fisher1983]

I have read that a 5hp carb is the same as a 3hp carb. Is this true? If it is, would the 5hp rotary choke carb fit into a 3hp old style deep gas tank?

I'd look up 130202 (5hp) engines and get a carb number....then compare it to a carb number for 3hp (I forget the model number).
