English term or phrase: delivery advance
The following section on is part of coursework on Automotive Engineering, the main topic is "diesel fuel governors":

"Timing devices:
Centrifugally controlled timing devices are positioned in the drivetrain between the engine and the fuel-injection pump. The flyweights respond to increasing engine speed by turning the fuel-injection pump‘s camshaft, with respect to the drive shaft, in the ***delivery advance*** direction."

Does this imply increasing delivery, and would that be the correct response to increased engine speed as opposed to limiting fuel delivery?
