I once had a 1926 model G but its long gone. I can tell you the carb might be for a G because its the twin poppet valve. The crankcase doesn’t have the cutout cast into it where the air intake for the carb fits into but I have to look further into it to figure out of they did that for 1926. I know they did the air intake pocket for the 1927 Model J and K. That carb may or not fit the crankcase, you’ll have to bolt it up to find out, but I’m thinking it won’t.
Timer looks right for a G with that wider paddle type handle on the end of it.
I’d say its looking like you have most of a model C with some G parts laying along with it, because of the flywheel configuration (flat with the knob sticking well above it) and the tower section (no vents cut in the side of the leg). Tank is likely off a C and without a nameplate, a semi-educated guess is all anybody can really give you as to a true identity. Hollow rudder, so no water pump. It looks like they used the steering bar off a G because it has the small rope pulleys in it, which the C did not. So, the I’d say its a 1924-25 model C that is incomplete and end with “hope it helps”.
