I decided to clean up and rebuild a few more engines.  I decided to tackle some Golden Bee engines tonight.  One Golden Bee tank had an iffy reed valve seat, so it was put aside, but I did get two Golden Bees and a Champaign Bee rebuilt with all the correct parts.  In the box was a Black Widow.  But was it original?  It had the #1 cylinder and what appears to be the correct tank and back.  I cleaned it up thoroughly and put in a new gasket and o-ring.  Digging out a no-drag starter spring brought it back to original specs.  But I don't know if the Black Widow came with a low or high compression head. I never bought one new.  Which do I put on it?
