Last week I acquired a broken SH gearbox. Today I took off the top cover and found the trouble, broken 1st/2nd shifter fork. I wonder if it got stuck in first. Wasn’t stuck now.
But turning over the top cover, I discover the gasket has words on it.

Hmm, the font looks familiar. Get out the Service Manuals.
Yep. It was made from page Q23/24 of the Mark V Service Manual, the list of Champion Spark Plug suppliers from Curacao to Siam.
I guess since Champions are so common here the US shop that did this figured they would never need to know those foreign Champion outlets.
