I think that almost everyone on this board will tell you wd40 is one of the worst lubricants you can use on a clock movement - I know your movement is now working but it should really now be taken apart and properly cleaned and oiled.

:rolleyes: Yuck, those who do not know lubricants and what various lubricants can do to brass. For those that want to use motor oils, sulfer compounds really do a number on a clock right along with salts. Most clock repairmen will sell you an oiler if you ask.
