Hello all.  Brand new to this forum although I belonged to the BSA Owners Club many years ago.  I have just become the owner of a 1934 BSA B2 and need to source a manual on the engine.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Here is some B34-2 engine information.

I dont think you will find a workshop manual for the 1930s models.

Thanks  JulianS.  Info downloaded for future reference.  I assume B34-2 is a 1934 B2.  Thanks again.

They called the 1934 ohv 250 the B34-2 in the catalogues and parts books.

The B2 designation was used for 1936 season.

Below from 1934 parts book showing frame/engine number series for that year.

Even more thanks JulianS.  My engine number is B2-3353 and frame is 2373 on frame lug below the saddle.  Cannot find a B prefix though.
