This links to the contemporary L-Head (Flathead) service manual. You can download it from here (all 300+ pages).

Hi,

Since the original post is like 6 yrs old the link to manual don't work anymore. Is there somewhere else I can download the B&S L-Flathead manual.

Thanks

No problem. Like you said the original link in post #1 no longer worked and it's better to have it on the site as a download. I think the old forum software, whatever it was, did not facilitate actual data storage here but I am not sure.

Would be great if there was a place on this forum where members could download and archive manuals, etc to share. Maybe there is and I don't know about it?
I have a lot of manuals & material for Tecumseh engines, Fox spoke wheel bikes like the Trail Tramp, Trail FX, Condor, Street Scamp. Also my favorite bikes Heathkit Boonie & Hilltopper.

You could do it, or get the ball rolling. Start a thread in the appropriate subforum (Strictly US Vintage, Engines, etc) and post what you have then have a moderator pin it to the top for easy reach. I think the Media section is ideal but it just has user photos and a brochures/sales literature section.

Edited to add: the Resources category is totally empty. Maybe that's the place for manuals? https://oldminibikes.com/forum/index.php?resources/

If all your manuals are in print then the daunting task is ahead of you to scan each page including the front and back pages and convert it to a single PDF. I'd concentrate on owner's manuals as they have a relatively small number of pages.

I have a lot already saved as PDF's.

As my member name suggests I'm in the copier business and all copiers are scanners so no problem with scanning hard copies making them PDF
