Not sure if this applies to floppy drives but if they have a belt look for crud buildup on the motor pulley will cause it to be too fast. I used to see that on vcr's and record turntables a long, long time ago.......

I remember using the timing wheel pattern and a florescent light once upon a time.  Of course this was when I was a kid and shouldn't have messed with it in the first place.  It was one of the many "Fix it before dad gets home" moments of my childhood.
