If so, is it gummed up around the edge where it seals the airways inside the carb off?
No, the original O ring on the valve was not perished, just a bit compressed, put another on top. Yes, tip of plunger was conical, no gumming up.

I will probably drive the car a few miles tomorrow.

For now, thanks to all.
