Strange Miss

I changed the ratio on my edelbrock carb to position the throttle the correct way for the TV cable. However, too loose and it won't shift out of first within range and too tight and I get a miss. Is this possible? There is no in between that i can find. Has anyone ever had this happen? I am checking to make sure there is nothing touching any wires but it is just strange.

Re: Strange Miss

Do you have some kind of "rev limiter" on your ignitions system?

That will systematically drop out cylinders & cause a miss to keep you from over revving your engine.
