If it's a series cart with rotary style F&R the F&R is a weak link in the amperage delivery system. F&R would look like this >

You'd like to think so but it can fail and do nuthin. Test for continuity as shown below in F and R .

If it bad we have the heaviest duty switch for this cart on the market.
