For many years, after winter storage, my Sears lawn motor pulsing fuel pump 
demanded that I pop out the diaphram sheet and soak it in WD40 for 1/2 hour 
or so... whereupon it would run all summer , but needed that treatment next 
spring.  WD 40 was also good for emergency rejuvination of computer printer 
ribbons on the old dot matrix ... remember those .. a little smudgy after 
the treatment, but real real dark.

.....and of course, to do the Water Displacement trick on the distributor 
cap and main coil wire after washing the vair engine at the local car 
wash...

It is a horrible lubricant, I have ruined several 2 stroke engines using it 
as a storage oil.  gall city.  Now I use ATF, Marvel Mystery, RemOil  ( gunj 
stuff )... etc. etc.
