Magic Chef Stove Burner repair or replace?

Have an older ('98) Magic Chef Stove and the front "high speed" burner just started creating a flame from the bottom up where it shouldn't be (where red arrows point in picture).

I removed the burner and some rust flakes fell out when I turned it upside down and shook.


What is going on here exactly? It seems the propane is leaking from the bottom and creating a flame where it shouldn't.

Can it be repaired? The closest part I found is in Canada is used and costs over 50 shipped.

    I read everybody's posts and it just seems to me that you possibly have an obstruction in your orifice or in the burner itself. I would pull the burner and then see if the orifice on the feed tube can be unscrewed with a tiny wrench. If so pull it out and see if you can see sunlight through the tiny hole in the middle. If you have compressed air try to blow the orifice out.

    If the stove orifice's are removable then try swapping the burner and the burners matching orifice from a working position and put them in the failed burner position.
