Holy smoke, and I do mean smoke….is that how it come out of the engine, all black like that? Is the rest of the magneto black? It’s as if the upper seal is shot (along with the bearing, possibly) and it was back-firing into the mag. I don’t remember ever seeing any cam that black. Anyway, yeah, I would say the cam is worn and yes, it would matter. But the upper seal problem would be a bigger priority, in my opinion.
Long live American manufacturing!
