At last. Got it all together ---- but the compression was too much. Replacing the .015" Teflon head gasket with a .032" one and doubling the plug washer reduced the compression a little bit. The compression is still higher than desired for a hit-or-miss engine. The Devil cranked right up and runs well. It packs a lot of power for a little engine with it's 3/4" bore.

 

 

The photo shows the temporary carburetor, exhaust pipe, ignition system and fuel tank ---- all from the junk box. I still have lot's of prettying up to do but I can enjoy watching it run while finishing the appurtenances.
