This thing seems to constantly turning it's self on and off alot while trying to travel. It almost does it all the time. It acts just like if you take your finger and lift one of the moveable contacts off it's connection on the f&r contactor and set it back down. On and off, every5-10 feet of travel. If have checked the contactors, new pot, all wiring in the handle, and emergency rev. switches, everything is fine. Jacking the wheel off the floor and it seem to run smooth and fine. If I make it creep very slow, on the floor, sometimes motor will turn 1/2 turn, stop, start, stop, start while holding the pot steady. Sometimes it will throttle up to speed and then act up. I'm thinking there is a cracked field coil in the motor that is causing it to turn on and off like this. Any ideas?

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
