[Silly Little Cars] Governor

Fri Oct 10 09:26:14 PDT 2014

I guess the governors are located in different places for different years.  My 2004 had the governor inside the long metal box on the firewall behind the cab where the ecm is also located.

I saved the attached photos from a previous discussion in case I needed them. Since I don't yet have a GO-4 maybe they will be of help to you. In picture 3 you will notice the black wire has been disconnected, taped, and tied back. This is claimed to be the proper way to defeat the governor completely.

Since this information is not mine, I cannot accept any responsibility for it's accuracy, but it looks like it should work.

Hello,

I have tried to find the governor several times and simply cannot.

I too have been having trouble with the governor slowing me down.

It has been kicking in lately at 20mph.

Anyone in San Francisco that can help me out?

Hello all,

I drive a 2002 Go-4 and my governor seems to be having issues. The governor
had been dialed up by a previous owner, but then I noticed the governor
limiting my speed at a lower MPH and then lower still a day or two later.

After some frustration and searching of the archives, I have located the
governor. I found the tiny little screw and will try dialing it up. But I
fear I may need to disconnect it entirely.

Has anyone done this on a 2002? I would really appreciate detailed
instructions if anyone can provide them.

Thanks,
Andrew

Just disconnect the thing.  It will save you a lot of trouble.  See the attached that I save just for these occasions.

I read previously and experienced also the loss of power and needed to dip the governor back up. It worked for a week and later for a couple of days. The trick was to use nail polish to fix it in place. But, I always carry a small screwdriver. 1999 Go4.

The seller told me about the screw
