Original WD40 makes a good degreaser, cleaner and water dispersing, but it is not a lubricant (although WD do now make lubricants). It dries to a gummy lacquer that attracts dirt. Put some PTFE ( Teflon ) containing lubricant on throttle now, I used 3 in 1 advanced PTFE oil on a padlock on our side gate about 5 years ago and it has been perfect ever since despite being out in all weathers.
