My roofing torch was not putting out much flame the other day so I
used a fine needle like tool with a handle to open up the nozzel. I
keep it outside with the tank covered with greenhouse plastic. This
time I sprayed some wd40 on the nozzel when I put it down for a spell.
Should I put some oil on the nozzel too or will the wd 40 be
sufficient.

You should wrap the nozzle in cotton, and then wrap with tar
paper, and soak the cotton in gasoline. Sprinkle on
tequilla, and some cinnamon.

Oh, you didn't say "sufficient to...... do...... what......"

To protect it so it will not clog up again.
I don't want to eat it, just keep it from rusting again.

1) Roof coatings. Good for about a year depending upon conditions and the type of coating used. Usually is the least expensive option.
2) Plywood deck with roll or shingle roofing: This gives you a flat surface to attach your shingle / roll roofing to. Since you have to attach the ply with screws, you interrupt the integrity of the original roof. Basically you are putting a new roof on over the old. Use 1/4" -3/8" ply to keep from overloading the roof. Use lots of roofing cement, both on the upper parts of the shingles and laps. Roll roofing doesn't look as good, but works the same. Remember: roofing cement is your friend.
3) Build a roof over the trailer. My sister-in-law had this done. Did a post and beam structure supporting a shallow sloped roof over her trailer. Works well, but is the most expensive and labor intensive 'fix'.
