A spark plug that is damaged, worn, or has an improperly set gap between its electrodes creates a weak spark. As a result, the fuel may not ignite in the cylinder, but it might ignite when it reaches the hot exhaust muffler. The result is a loud backfire. Poor spark also results in a mower that runs unreliably.

It is dry fouling according to the pic. How do I remedy this?

Forgot to mention, air filter is clean, oil ok, fuel flows freely through filter.

@bvilleeer sounds more like a carb issue than an ignition issue. What make and model is your mowers engine?
