I am going to strip that down and clean it, take the spring out of the clutch and inspect it. If that fails, luckily Amazon has these parts:

I think that the problem lies in at least the first two parts above. I'm going to order those part and while I am waiting for them, I am going to try to overhaul the original parts. I have taken and held this bike up to 19mph in it's current condition and can relax and roll @ 13 to 14 mph. There's no sound coming from the bottom bracket because it's there even I stop pedaling and coast. It does stop when I hit the brakes but will be there when I coast or pedal.

I bet that I am doing something wrong with that clutch assembly. The wheel spins great , the wheel also spins great and brakes very well.
Let me know the outcome please. Thanks and good luck.
