Is a homelite C5 automatic oil?

[MOE]

I have an old C-5 that I'm going to get runing. Does it have an oil pump besides the manual pump? Thanks

No manual only

Moe: Use thinner oil when it is cold to prevent a sore right thumb. Dont ask me why I know.

Good tip..he's right

My right thumb just went numb:help:

When it gets real cold you can mix a little kero with the oil to help

Yes it's only manual oiling...

HOWEVER, if you can manage to find the optional Automatic Oiler and don't mind switching out your saw engine housing for one like what's found on the newer models (C51, C71 and C91), you can have both the auto oiler and the manual oiler

Here's a pic of a C9 that had just that done to it... It's the C9 toward the bottom and center of the page belonging to Darrin.
