    How damaged are these threads.

    do you have a pipe die set? that is what i would do, start the die, cut about 2 new threads, cut off the excess length above the die, and back the die off. just be advised, your not looking at a cheap die, you will need a quality die. one that does not say "made in china"

    the engine will rev in neutral running on only 2 cylinders. that means nothing. as Scott stated, when an engine is under load, it needs fuel. my guess your carb is plugged or your anti-siphon valve is stuck.

    could be a fender washer from bolting in an engine mount if it is thru-bolt vs lag bolt. however the washer looks too fresh to have lived in the bilge for a while.
