Consider yourself lucky.
My 67 Midget can barely hit 60 without redlining. At least I think it is
sixty. I just kinda take an average of the low and high points the needle
tends to bounce between.
Any faster and my spoke wheels give me the speed wobbles anyway. :)
Gotta love it.. built in saftey features.

Hi,
That's definately not correct. I had the Midget out this a.m. and looked at
what speed I was getting at what rpm: I hit 50mph @ 4000rpm in second gear,
70 @ 4000 in 3rd gear, and the fastest I've had it in 4th gear was 95mph
and I wasn't looking at the tach that time ;-)
Sounds like either your spedo is way off or your clutch is slipping pretty
badly, I'd vote for the slipping clutch.
Good luck,
