The question is: If McMourning has slow, can he spend 1 body part to remove the slow, then a second body part to gain fast?
The Theory: look at the example "Action Modifier Examples" on page 34.
"Lilith has (+1) Fast and Mortimer casts (-1) slow twice on Lilith. The first Slow cancels Lilith's Fast, and the second Slow nets Lilith (-1) on her next activation." It then goes on to explain that the Student of Conflict can't give Perdita Fast because you cannot stack Fast.
Therefore, reversing the process, McMourning gives himself Fast, which cancels the slow. He now has nothing. He then gives himself Fast again, which means he now has Fast for this activation. He couldn't continue giving it to himself because he has already gained Fast to his talents for this turn.
Normally when a model has +1 Fast the Slow would negate it, but McMourning has a way of gaining Fast. In essence he's adding the Talent (+1) Fast to his stat card, much like a model would add the Sacrifice ability when Killjoy is hired. You can't stack Fast, but when you use it to remove Slow you don't gain it so spending another body part doesn't stack it, it just allows you to have the (+1) Fast.
Edit: I guess, by the same logic, Reckless would allow Gremlins and Pigs with Slow to suffer two wounds and gain Fast.
