Travel cutting out

I have a PE 4500 that keeps cutting out in both directions of travel. If I move the throttle a little for very slow speed it will work but if I try to go full speed the contractor drops out and the truck won't travel in either direction until you turn it off and back on. Occasionally it will simply reset itself. It has new forward and reverse switches and the pot is good. Also tried a new line contractor and verified the handle wiring harness has continuity. Any ideas?

Did you check the battery under load? Truck will run at 19v, things start shutting off at 18.9v

Fact of the week
The term "Spring", referring to the season, originated in the 14th century as "Springing time", describing how plants "spring" or burst into life after winter. In the 16th century "Springing time" was shortened to just "spring" for the season of new growth.
