Super XL automatic oil pump question

[sawbutcher]

 Does the automatic oil pump need some kind of lubrication on the gears prior to reinstalling the pump? I can't imagine they run dry ,but what do I know. I replaced the felt seal and did put a bit of oil on the felt. Thanks for any help.

I've never put anything on any of them. And many models of saws used similar worm drive gears. I've seen the pump shaft gear worn out but it wasn't very common.
