Speed issues in old foot-pedal? (lemmy.world)

Hey gang, I was hoping I could pick some people's brains on this. I have a singer rocketeer I'm restoring and part of that is that I replaced the foot pedal with one off an old alco. This inadvertently diagnosed the issue with the alco as being the foot pedal. When you press down, the motor hums but seizes until you get about half way, then it runs at Moc 2 until you ease back.

There any way to fix this or do I just need a new one?

Actually that was my first thought, but a good deep clean and oiling just made the thing a tad lighter and slipperier lol
