Don't lube the TB! It's designed to run dry, and if you lube it you will simply get dirt and crap sticking to the lube and causing the exact problems you're trying to fix. You need to make sure it completely clean. Don't use any products that leave a film or residue. Also check carefully for something mechanical causing the stocking, as that's a much more likely cause.
