My clock is just wound too tight. How can I fix this problem?

A clock that is wound tight is a clock at full power. The tightness of the spring is not the problem. The clock won't run because of problems in the movement. Clocks need to be oiled every 3 to 5 years. Most people neglect the sevice of the clock and the movement becomes dirty and dry. The parts inside can seize up and just plain wear out. I like to compare clocks to automobiles. If you drive your car for 10 years without changing the oil, the engine will wear out.

If your car won't start , check the gas in the tank. If your clock won't run, check to make sure the clock spring is wound tight. If the clock is wound tight or the gas tank is full , the problem is elsewhere in the engine/movement. A fully wound spring is like a full tank of gas.

Can I oil my clock with a spray lubricant like W D - 40 ?

No competent clockmaker would suggest this action. Spraying lubricant all over your clock movement has short term benefits and long term problems. These improper lubricants dry to a gummy residue that collects dirt all over your clock movement and causes the movement to gum up and stop.
