Re: speedo fast
I ran your info through 2 different online calculators and got 22.2 something for a driven gear, sounds right to me. Maybe the inside drive gear has more than 8 teeth ? Try checking your odometer against the mile markers on a highway, odometer should be fast also.

example 60 seconds marker to marker divide 60 into 3600 = 60 mph """""""""" 51 seconds marker to marker divide 51 into 3600 = 70.5 mph or if you have a gps it can calculate for you
