when you say '' it feels like a fixed gear '' do you mean it feels really easy to pedal? You have a 19 tooth sprocket on the back . The average feel right gearing for a bmx is 44 16. All you need to do is find a 16 tooth rear sprocket and it should then feel ok to ride :-)

I would say your drive screw lug is playing up. On an old skool free hub, the free wheel mech was a stripped down coaster. Suntours dismantled cog first, i would guess the bendix would too.
