No, unless it was clogged and then the motor probably wouldn’t idle to well on that cylinder. If you can get that jet out I have replacements. I know I can mail you one of those! Just let me know the number on the jet and letter, should be a D jet?
Probably damaged because someone didn’t have the proper tool to remove/install it with. I believe someone has shown how to make a jet tool since the new site has been up. Maybe Mumbles. The official tool is expensive. I have made some out of Craftsman round Phillips screwdrivers. The smaller ones with the shaft that will fit in the carb jet bore. A small ease out should remove the broke jet, but you will have to drill it out some to get even a small ease out in. The worst that could happen is have to replace the carb bowl. Of course you can just leave it be if the jet looks clean and the proper size compared to the others.
