Default FW belt issues

A while back I was having issues with my FW not turning over. I greased the motor and it will turn but very slowly. I took the belt off and the motor spins like a top. I have a rubber belt. I couldn't find a v-belt locally. Now the wheel/needlebar will turn, albeit slowly. There is very light tension on the belt, just enough that it doesn't slip. Should I just go with the v-belt or is there more troubleshooting to be done gear wise? It has been oiled recently and religiously.
