Default Slow Featherweight

Bought another FW as my daughter fell in love with the first one I bought, and after spiffing it up gave it to her. My newer little doll is in wonderful condition, has a lovely stitch but even after checking out the foot pedal stitches slowly. It needs a boost when she first begins, and is steady, just slow. No varying of speed i.e. bursts of fast then slowing. I have David McCallums book and video and I've followed instructions for adjusting the pedal. Does anyone reading this have an idea what else I might check? The power cord had some electrical tape that I removed and does have a small nick down to the copper, I've ordered a new cord. What else can I do to pep her up? Thank you for reading and for any ideas you might ofer.
