Assuming it's slightly less than the diameter of the washer, no need.

Ok, things are coming together nicely on the stirrup pump. Question: How do I lubricate the piston/tube and with what kind of oil?

Yes, thanks. Do I just put a thin layer on the piston then, or more places than that?

Just paste some on the pump head and it should be more than enough.
