I've actually had good results using synthetic motor oil for lubing everything from linkages to door hinges. I have an oil can filled with it - use it all the time. Overkill? Probably, but it works.

You can do better than WD-40. That stuff isn't really a lubricant. I used Tri-flow, or Tef-lo, or something like that. Got it at a bike shop. It's basicly just a light weight oil with some crap that supposedly makes it worth $4.95 for a small bottle. Any light weight machine oil should do fine

My weber pair do not seem to rest easily on the throttle idle screws. I was thinking of spraying some WD-40 on the throttle spindle bearings.

Would this be bad?
