Just been to a classic car show and picked up this manual for £2.

Very pleased.

Some great pictures, clearly illustrated. Valve clearances are correct!

Unfortunately, some pages are stuck together…. Not a word… !

Interesting, another version of shop manual and one that I've never seen here in the US. Pictures do look like good quality. Maybe with a little steam carefully applied you could get those pages unstuck.
 
I see the CB/CL carb jetting is different but there's a note of fitting General Export carbs, not sure what that means.
Seems to be a late 1971 or '72 book since they only mention the SL350K2, no K1 or K0
 
It appears to be an Australian publication. First and only print mentioned, November 74.

It has some beautiful exploded plates, see below. I’ve also included the model plate.

I’ve never seen an exploded picture of points before.

No doubt, from points to advancer exploded views. Seems every manual has something to offer, if only we could combine all the best and most correct elements of all of them for each model.
 
Pages stuck together ?

Someone must have been very excited looking at those photos of engine parts ..

But back on topic, maybe copyright wasn't an issue in Australia back then ? I have a Honda 175 shop manual here published by Cycleserv, an Australian publication dated 1973, and it's an exact copy of the Honda FSM, apart from the cover and end papers. To be fair, it does say published by arrangement with Honda.
