I have heard of rheostat problems for the speed control. Are you using the foot control or transom mount? The battery is good, no circuit breaker?
I got one about 25+ years old earlier this year and took it apart and replaced all the bad stuff. Never had a problem after that.

check and clean ALL of the connectors/connections. Amazing what a little corrosion can do.
