Hi folks.
I picked up an old Sears Craftsman Generator with a 5hp Briggs carrying the numbers: 150 12 0105 01 90041007
So I know it is a 5hp, and looks like it was made in 1990. It will run, started up with a splash of gas. Updraft Carb is very dirty. Tried to save the bowl gasket, ripped.
So I'm looking for a gasket kit, 7-9hp Chinese carbs come up in the ebay search, but no 5hp or gasket kits.
I tried the number at Jacks small engine and came up with nothing.
Ideas?

That does not seem like a Briggs serial number that I am familiar with. They usually start out with 130XXX, 6 digits total for the first number set.

Is it an old flathead Briggs?

It is an old flathead Briggs. I got it running decently, and luckily (although I haven't changed it) the bowl gasket has a number printed on it. And at least that is available.
