B14 villiers engine

Hi am new to this site and am looking for any info or manuals for the B14 villiers engine on my 1930 Empire Garden Tractor.
It is seized and missing parts like carb, any info would be great.

Thanks Ken

Not sure about the designation B14 applied to a Villiers engine. Would it be the engine fitted to an Excelsior B14 bike of around 1929?

Thanks Ken

Ken, e mail sent with link to a book for sale that may be useful.

‘The book of the Villiers engine maintenance and repair’ appears to be what you need, this is available as a reprint.

Thanks Charlie I just ordered that book, do you know if those engines were a popular engine and do you know what other machinery they were used in.

I think it could have been a motorcycle engine, not aware of what other machines they were used in. Meetens are a good source of Villiers parts although I dont know if they would have parts for this model.
