vibration = tyre prob/suspension prob - check balancing (a weight may have come off)

As for cutting out - if engine stalls at that speed shit yer pants! if you get big loss of power check dizzy cap for cracks/timing. could try cleaning carb. I had loss of power at similar speed - turned out to be carb (cleaned it and it was fine)

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotamy!

fuel pump blocked /faulty
fuel filter in carb inlet blocked??
