You don't need a seperate energy source except to get the ball rolling, so to speak. Once the generator is running, it should be able to power the pump through an energy link.

That being said, I've found that a pump works well enough with four redstone engines. Using Teleport pipes and a world anchor, you could pump lava to your generator from a great distance away.

The generator does indeed accept lava from buildcraft pipes. Without looking at your setup, its hard to tell what went wrong, but here's a visual example of a working setup.
