I don't know how it is called in English, but the part is used to give every candle an electric signal in certain moment of time. It has a spining part which forms contacts. The question is: what is the width of gap between the spinning part and body of this part. Thank you for the answer.

I think he's refering to the rotor arm and the spark gap between the rotor arm and the contacts in the dizzy cap.

Sorry, I don't actually know what this gap is, but I'm sure somebody can answer this for you.
