The main propulsion diesel engines used to power the ship-docking tug to which you are assigned are started with vane-type air-starting motors designed to operate at 250 psig. The in-line lubricator should provide 3 drops of oil per cranking minute, as long as the in-line lubricator oil viscosity is as specified. If the start air pressure is within the normal range and the oil viscosity is correct, but the oil injection rate is only 1 drop per minute, what should be done?
