detonation / knock issue on 340

Updates. Found the carb base plate is cracked. So I’m in search for a good replacement. I did do a compression test. Highest cylinder reading 180 lowest 165. The plugs I just put in 30 miles ago look like this. Guess I’ll continue the work after either I find a replacement base plate or a carb. I’ll follow up once I’m back into it
