I went through a 40 hp Big Twin last summer, with all new ignition, carb kit, fuel pump, the works. That motor would only run on one cylinder [barely], and sometimes would not start and run at all. After pulling the reed block, I found 2 screws, one on each side, holding open a reed petal. Both cylinders were affected, since there was a screw lodged in each side. That one kicked my butt for a day or so before I figured it out. The screws came out of the recoil interlock on the front of the motor.
So yes it can happen..
