Chinese term

gun

Chinese to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Diesel engine
Please, explain in other words what it can be "gun"?
This is a diesel genset. Parallel mode of two gensets. Original language is Chinese. Chinese translator translated this into English. Now I translate it into Russian and I faced to the difficulty to translate the word "gun" in the follwoing context:

♦ Change the position of the gun of diesel engine can actualize the regulation of active power.
♦ When decrease the gun, the active power transfer to another genset.

Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks.

agree orientalhorizon : yes, it's an engine cleaner by blowing compressed air. It looks like a "gun" and in Chinese it's indeed called so.

Concerning the two sentences of the text, my trial of back translation would be as follows for your reference:

Change the position of the gun of diesel engine can actualize the regulation of active power. 其中文原文大约是:改变石油引擎枪的位置可以调整运作中的动力。
When decrease the gun, the active power transfer to another genset. 可能应改写为When decreasing the gun output, the active power transfers to another genset.如此,其中文原文大约是:当减少引擎枪的输出时,运作中的动力转向另一具发电机组。

不知以上理解是否正确而易懂?尚请各位同仁指教。
