Pumps circulate the fluids an engine depends on, and a decline in any of them shows up quickly elsewhere — bearings starved of oil, or a cylinder head running without coolant. This group covers lubricating oil pumps, water pumps, fuel lift and transfer pumps, injection pumps, and priming pumps. On generating sets these components spend long periods stationary, and a water pump seal that has dried out during standing can weep on the first run after a long idle period. Fuel lift pumps on standby installations are also worth attention, since degraded fuel and partial blockage in the supply line place additional load on them.

The seal can dry out and take a set while stationary, then weep once the pump turns again. It is a recognised issue on standby sets that stand for months between runs.
Low oil pressure once the engine reaches operating temperature, with normal pressure when cold. Confirm with a mechanical gauge before dismantling.
Injection pumps are commonly overhauled and recalibrated on a test bench by a specialist. Calibration is essential as fuelling and timing must match the engine specification.
