Read somewhere that when they took the butane away as the propellant it made WD40 useless for starting anything. The butane was the reason it could be used to get something to fire off and the lubricant was an added benefit.
I remember running old Briggs motors on WD40 to try to figure out if it was carb or spark issues causing problems but that was a few years ago.

WD40 is still combustible. Hey, put the straw on the can, light your lighter and give it a blast! I guarntee it'll burn.
It just doesn't help with cold starting because it's not particularly volatile. It does still have a 'fuel' value though...
