Default Featherweight motor slows - what is wrong?

Got my hands on a 1936 featherweight. Didn 't try it till I cleaned, oiled and greased it. The motor slows. It also sounds to me like the little wheel the belt hooks to at the motor makes a high pitched spinning sound. I think it just needs more lube and we need to run the machine to get it where it needs to go. My husband thinks the motor is shot. Any suggestions???
