Actually I'm not too surprised about that. When one considers how few CBs were produced and sold in Oz (* 887 produced and available for the Australian Sales Market) and what the bulk of them were utilitized for on farms, ranchs, and the Outback, most probably never made it back to a dealership for service.....probably of any kind. I would guess less than 1% (8.87) ever made in for dealer service which would have allowed for the suggested modification. That Service Information sheet was probably inserted into most dealers loose leaf binders, and never referred to again.
Likely the only service done was by the owners......maybe the occasional crackcase and or air filter oil change. My bet is that signiifcant numbers were NEVER serviced EVER, or minimally, and just eventually crapped out and got stuck in shed or simply left under a tree or out in the open.
Its really a wonder there are as many survivors as there are still alive and kicking.

Steve
