[Silly Little Cars] 1996 Go-4 Interceptor Govenor Disable

[Mike Warren]

Everyone, thanks again.
My 98 is the van type with the enclosed back, so it's a little more top heavy.
Most of my driving is on 45-55 roads. The interstate in my area has a lot of double trailer trucks on them. Speed limit's are 65 which means 75-80 to most folks, including the truckers.
When you get 4 or 5 doubles running together at 70-75 passing you , it's like a fast freight train. Even my full size Chevy gets buffeted around by thier air wake. They'd eat a GO-4 alive, so I just stay clear. No place I need to get to that fast in a GO-4 anyway. 

I checked the pix and messages out on the website. Really liked the WSJ bit.
And yes, the "stunt" drivers have me smiling. 
Can't help but wonder if an Interceptor would make a good 'drift' car?
Now, where did I put that turbo and bottle of NOS ??? 
Later,
Mike

  one full turn (right) increases and one (left) decreases the speed by 5 mph.


  That's what I understand, but I just tightened mine, so it's effectively disabled.

  Thanks for the quick respones and valuable info.
  Of course it was located behind the only panel I DIDN'T check behind.
  I assume it's just like the one on my 03 in that one full turn (right) increases and one (left) decreases the speed by 5 mph.
  I only cranked up to about 60 top speed.
  Thanks again,
  Mike

          Disconnect the speedo cable, that takes out the gov.  then use a GPS for measuring your speed.

            Hi All,
            Just got another Go-4 (1996) and need help adjusting or disabling the gov.
            I've got a 2003 that I drive running parts and had no problem setting the speed up on it, but the 96 is a different story.
            I can't even find the darn thing. Manuals are no help and don't have a schematic to easily track it down.
            Any help would be greatly appreciated.
            Thanks,
            Mike
