In a lot of cases like that you'll find that the carb has been replaced, and the geometry of the linkage on the new carb (length and angle of the throttle arm, for instance) is enough different to throw things off.
I've had them go both ways. I replaced the Carter on my SuperC with a Zenith, and it operated over the bottom two thirds of the total throw of the lever. Replaced the rotted out Zenith on my BN with a new Zenith, and it only wanted to operate over the top two thirds.

Got the full range for engine speed on both, low to high idle, just not as fine an adjustment between engine speeds as you would get with the full use of the lever.
