I've started rebuilding the carb today. Appears to be a Rochester Monojet.
Looks to me like that port is plugged inside the carb, so I doubt it was a problem:
At the time I wasn't sure what any of this stuff was or did, so I was a little overwhelmed, but I've watched a rebuild video or two now so I'm feeling a little better about it.
One thing we noticed was the that venturi tube looks battered for some reason:
Also, the rebuild videos say it's a good idea to replace the float because the old plastic floats can start absorbing fuel which changes their buoyancy. My rebuild kit doesn't come with a float, so I'll probably order this brass one:
