Gap should be set when points are fully open.

Looking at my Allen Scythe there are spacers, look like large washers approximately 1/4″ thick.

That plate looks different to the one fitted to my machine. I will see if I can get a photo or two of the one on mine. I do have drawings for one on the pc but they are in a format I can no longer open.

The manual only has basic information about engine eg spark plug type, it does not cover strip down and rebuild or fault finding. It does have a parts list with diagrams. If you require a copy please send your e mail details to the club e mail address contact.vhgmc@gmail.com

Have you tried contacting Hayter?

Thanks for adding the photos. Plenty for our Allen Scythe experts to look at. I have an Allen Scythe buried in the shed and will see if it has any spacers.

Welcome to the forum.If you could add a couple of photos showing each side it will help identify what has happened.(there is a post in help and information section with a guide to adding photos if you have problems).

Make sure you have the plate that attaches under engine.

Can’t help with a badge but I have scanned a Geest leaflet that shows the badge if that is any help. Good to see a Geest truck restored as I dont think there are many about.
