B&S Powermate generator engine carburetor.

I posted this thread on the "Finding Parts" forum, but this forum may be a better place for this question:
 
I have a Coleman PowerMate generator it has a B&S OHV engine.  The engine model is 115432-0081-01 and the code dates it late 1996.  I need a 715139 carburetor rebuild kit that shows as "No longer available" or is about $90 on the parts sites that supposedly have stock.  Alternatively, is there a replacement carburetor for the P/N 715317?

    I'm finding a very different part # than what you listed:
     
    https://www.jackssmallengines.com/jacks-parts-lookup/manufacturer/briggs-stratton/briggs-stratton-engine/100000-19z999-series/115400-to-115499/115432-0081-01/carburetor 
     
    When I search for, say the needle, it IS available looking under that part # & doing a search.
     
    Can you advise any specific part you need?  If the bowl seal is still usable, you can very likely 
    get by with just a good cleaning...  You can also buy after market bowl seals, etc on Flea Bay..

    The carb p/n is in the listing for find number 125. You have to look in the second column and the p/n 715317 shows it is for type 0081. Thats how I determined what carb p/n I’m looking for a replacement for.

    I talked to a friend and he suggested disassembling the carb and running it through an ultrasonic cleaner. I think I’ll try that.

    Cleaning, especially with an ultra sonic cleaner is WAY better than replacing with an after market
    Chinese piece of c..p....

    Jets #142 and #17 ARE the critical jets that MUST be spotless and fully clear...
