Same spark plug in the 680, no change in condition or symptoms.

Nope, I drained the gas tank the first time I pulled the carb just to eliminate that possibility. There wasn't much fuel in there.

Sounds like everything else is in order. From the description, I'd say valve issues.
This is what I'm thinking/hoping. I read up last night on valve adjustments and engine disassembly. If I get lucky I won't have to go that far.
I have the feeler gauges I need, but I also got a honey-do list for my wife's business today. She's got a big event this weekend, so the 1450 will have to sit till next week.

Will update again when I figure something out or fail...
