Two comments- Freewheels are almost never greased from the factory. Generally a light weight oil is the lube of recommendation. Second is that most all pawls I have experienced are not able to be installed backwards without the freewheel's function to be messed up. I doubt it left the factory this way.
Just the same it's good to service our bikes. Look forward to this thread's further posts.
My day saw a couple of very messy service jobs, one with too much rust. Andy
