    Well, could be just about anything… I take it you have never run this engine, correct? So, you don’t know how it ran before… As for the lead shot, one may or may not belong there, that hole might be a vent…You can try just plugging the hole with your finger just to see if your hunch is correct. Try posting some pictures of the carb and unplugged hole.
    In any event, recheck all the basics first. Are you sure it is running on two cylinders? Recheck compression and fuel supply.
    I don’t know if you can jam a BB in the hole, I wouldn’t though…There is a specific number for the lead shot: 304201
