I think someone put a shuttle in and it is not the right one for this machine.
Does anyone have a resource for shuttle sizes for these old machines?

Can you point me toward a picture of the machine? Also, examine your shuttle carefully; make sure the tip isn't blunted and there's no burrs on it. Also, most Davis shuttles I've seen has the name printed on it. Does it just not fit right in the carrier?
