[Silly Little Cars] New GO-4 owner, high idle

[Keith Charsha]

Hi Lia,

Normally you can adjust the idle by turning the idle speed adjustment 
screw. The idle speed**adjusting screw is located on the side of the 
throttle body.  You can find the the throttle body by following the 
accelerator cable to its end.  As far as the forks go the seals might be 
blown.  You can rebuild them for much much cheaper than retrofitting 
them.  I rebuilt mine and put an airbag in to help. I hate to say it but 
this group doesn't have much activity.  Try going to the GO-4 
Interceptor owners Group on facebook and join. There are quite a few 
members constantly asking questions and posting answers every day.  The 
web address is https://www.facebook.com/groups/445796918961476/  Go 
there, ask to join and I'll approve you within a day at the most.
