Default 15-91 running intermittently

Hi everyone - new to the forum and vintage sewing machines...I have 3 vintage machines; a 1926 28K of my Grandmothers, a 1954 99K from a thrift store; both of which run and a 15-91.
I picked up the 15-91 yesterday - I tested it when I was looking it over it and it ran. I brought it home and cleaned it all up, oiled it etc. Then I plugged it in and pushed the foot pedal - nothing...I unplugged it and plugged it into another outlet and it ran - thought it was the outlet...then I tried it again a little while later and it wouldn't run...I pulled the brushes out of the motor - they seemed clean, no build up on the springs. I wiped the bit of dust off each of the brushes and reinstalled them. Still no luck...
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks so much for any assistance!
Kelly
