You can soak the freewheel in synthetic motor oil for a day.
It helps.

You can get a White Industry freewheel, those are pretty good.

The ACS has been replaced with a Shimano freewheel, and my sanity has been restored. I'm going to try the motor oil and mineral oil trick Shecky linked to. Nothing to loose except a few bucks for the motor oil.

I'm really thankful for all the input everyone has given me. I wish I had this kind of meaningful input when I bought my first mountain bike. I feel the ideas and suggestions here have made my choice an educated purchase rather than just a gut feeling.

After my first real ride today, my only regret is not doing it sooner!

Thanks to all.
