    Stephen,

    That one is surely worn out. It is like Bill W said, they will continue to run way beyond when they should quit. Time for a new powerhead on your otherwise good motor.

    In your next to last picture, the reed plate looks like one of the reeds was not lined up properly to seal. Maybe this happened when you took it apart. NOt really an issue now, but was just curious if this had anything to do with your dry spark plug issue.
