Burner Issues

Hi all, 

I’ve had one burner out on my Utica steam boiler for a few years now. I think it’s time to fix it before the cold comes. Attached is a picture. Anyone know what I should do to fix this issue? 

Thanks!

    Remove the burner and check the orifice at the manifold. Typically, a spider in residence has made its egg casing there during the summer months.
    8.33 lbs./gal. x 60 min./hr. x 20°ΔT = 10,000 BTU's/hour

    Two btu per sq ft for degree difference for a slab
