When I got my Snapdragon 23, although the engine was seized and no part of it servicable - I did get a service leaflet, and a parts catalogue/owners guide
the tillotson HL carburettor manual is here
The owners guide is in pdf format, and will take a while to load
there doesnt seem to be a downloadable vire7 manual yet, but i have one i will scan in soon, however the vire 6 manual is darned good....
The original Vire BVR manual is available, in PDF format, on a Dutch website that specialises in making old out-of-print manuals available for everybody. It is presented as two very big files, of 2.91 MB and 1.75 MB, so be prepared for a slow download.

You'll need Adobe Acrobat to read PDF files. If you don't already have it, Adobe Acrobat Reader is available as a free download.
