The shot starts late

A pause before the pump starts

One Silvano Evo owner on home-barista (2026) heard a pause after switching on before the pump started. Replies split: a worn, old pump, or a worn brew switch (a good one clicks firmly). The thread reached no firm answer. Check the tank tubes first. A technician can then check whether the pump gets power with the switch on; if it does, the pump is the likely cause. Look at which pump is fitted before ordering one.
