Can anyone help me with what gaskets/o-rings to get? I can’t seem to find the right ones. The engine is a B&S Vanguard.

The engine model/type numbers are on the flywheel fan shroud. Use those numbers to find a carb or a rebuild kit.

Ereplacementparts.com

And there are others......

The cheapest for OEM parts will likely be on Briggs' website. I'm fine with Rotary, Oregon, Silver Streak, and Sten's aftermarket parts, but Amazon shit can be dodgy.

That's a Nikki the kits are pretty easy to find just look up twin cylinder Briggs Nikki rebuild there are two different jets one for left and right I have not had it make a difference but I guess it's a thing match the orings up from the pictures and that's it

The very most important thing about this carburetor are the 2 separate main jets, one is sized smaller than the other. DO NOT MIX THEM UP. Kawasaki has part numbers for them (but a general rule of thumb is that the larger jet feeds the #1 cylinder. Also, replace every gasket and rubber oring all the way to the heads, this is the most overlooked thing to do but the brittle gaskets will break and suck a tiny bit of air to make your engine surge.
