Has anyone use the Reminton Gun lube with teflon to lube thing like this. Seems like that may be a better choice. Just thinkin' out loud.

Joe, You are correct in considering that the WD-40 used in your throttle cable could possibly be the problem. WD-40 was originally designed to prevent surface corrosion, but also has limited use as a penetrant and lubricant. The problem is that the lubricant over time can change and become very gummy. This can be a problem when the WD-40 is in enclosed areas that are difficult to clean. It is not uncommon for this to cause malfunctions in semi-auto rifles and pistols. (The penetrating qualities can also contaminate primers in ammunition.) I would suggest not using WD-40 on close tolerance moving parts in an aircraft unless they are easily accessible for thorough cleaning and proper lubrication.
