Hi Jeremy.
Thanks for getting back to me and sorry for the late reply.
The machine I’ve got is No 5358. Patent No. 31061/53 and 31062/53.
I have yet to start it, but everything appears to be free and moving. It does seem to have been loved and looked after.
Oils are all clean and topped up. Nice bright spark on the plug. Air filter needs cleaning as full of cobwebs etc. Fuel line working ok to carb. Pulled it over a few times, but exhasting work lol. I’m thinking a starting handle may be easier.
I believe the gentleman who owned it used to take it to farm/tractor shows, It had been owned by his family from new.
My machine does not seem to have the “reversing lock” as you say. On the handle bars from behind, “right hand is the accelerator lever”… “left hand is the clutch lever”… and thats all, so I can’t help you there.
If you see an exhaust pipe for this model, please let me know.
As I proceed, I’ll keep you informed
Regards,
Fred.
PS. Would I need an addative for the petrol, due to age of machine ?

Hi.
I’m new to this site.
I started reading last week what you are doing with your Yeoman.
I’ve just purchased a 1954 (I’m told) Howard Yeoman in great looking order although not started it yet as I want to “figure it all out” first.
BSA engine No on crank case = G15458/PL/AO. No on engine cowl = 2200R?M.
I’m not an engineer, but do like to “dabble” a little, it helps keeping the coggs going round in my head, lol.
Can you give me any advice on what to look for also are there any places I can get some spares should I need them… one thing, is the exhaust is really past its sell by date.
Regards,
Fred.
