Diesel injector pump problems after engine fitted

Having fitted a new second hand engine, the injector pump doesnt seem to be working. It was working prior to being fitted. Could the injector pump have suffered from being stood unused for a couple of months? It was dry stored?
Anything I can do to get it back to rights?
Thanks

New second hand?
It depends on who fitted it, and which bit they have cocked up.
I take it the original pump has been transfered to another engine? has it been timed up properly? Bled up properly? Is the pump set to fire on the right cylinder? Did you use timing tools? has the pump been set with a DTI? or has it all just been guessed?

The engine was fitted as a replacement second hand engine complete.
I was posting this on behalf of someone else, I believe the mechanic fitting the said engine just had a problem getting it going and then blamed the injector, thanks for all the advice anyhow.
