Pics?
The bike has a freewheel. The pawls might be stuck and flushing with oil might work but all of the free wheels I’ve run across that needed flushing didn’t freewheel...i.e. the pawls stuck against the teeth inside the freewheel.

PdalPowr: Drip oil into the gap between the inner and outer part of the freewheel while spinning the wheel backwards. You’ll see where the gap is when you spin the wheel. Any oil will do. Triflow or 3-in-1 oil or even motor oil will work. Motor oil is the last choice since it is a bit thick.
