Have you tried running some kerosene through the freewheel? The cogs don't look very worn and you might be able to get rid of whatever is gumming up the internal mechanism that way. Hold the wheel parallel to the ground wrap the hub in a rag to catch the kerosene and drip some into the place where spinning and static portions intersect. Then spin the freewheel to work the kerosene through. If that frees it up lubricate in the same location with light oil, not grease.

Or this^
