I ordered a freewheel removal tool and plan on taking it apart this weekend, but wasn't sure if anyone here would be able to give me an idea of what is causing this issue?
Search is your friend. You can service that freewheel without removing it from the wheel. I usually remove them to do the service, as you will need to remove it anyway to service the bearings.
A sluggish freewheel is typical on just about any bike that has been sitting idle for a while. 99% of the vintage bikes I find need the freewheel flushed and serviced.
