I have a 1998 Mercury 125 that lost power at about 4800 rpm. The #2 cylinder was low on compression but all cylinders had spark. The #2 carburator was spitting fuel and when I looked down the carburator throat I noticed that one of the reed valve petals was missing. Tell me that all I have to replace is the reed valve plate and that I didn't trash the #2 cylinder. I can change the reed valve plate myself but what other damage could have happened and where might I look to find the reed valve petal.
