If it's an older mechanical machine, very possible it needs a thorough oiling and cleaning.

Wheel on right side that controls the needle up and down is very tight...

I would suggest you replace the foot pedal speed control.

grant514 Has pretty much hit the nail on the head but the RF suppressor is located in the motor housing, not the foot pedal. It bridged the terminals where the foot pedal connects. Removing this capacitor resolved the same issue in my machine and given the absence of radio receiving equipment in my home now I have had no ill effects.

There is a presser foot pressure dial on the left end of the machine, make sure it is on 3 or higher.

does the foot pedal plug into the machine by itself? if so unplug the foot pedal & then turn on the machine, if it doesn't run by it's self then you know it's the foot pedal.
but if it still has the problem check the foot pedal for a circuit board

your foot controller is damaged and should be replaced.
