Hans,
You may have to disassemble the speedo and lubricate all the gears in
it. I have a 77 spit and it was really sluggish. I thiught the cable was bad
but after a short time the cable broke. I bought another one and it worked
the same as before. I took the speedo apart and cleaned it up and lubricated
it and it has worked great ever since.
