IE the worlds worst case of Alzheimer's

It also appears and I'm sure I'm wrong, that the sprocket on the chain saw is compatable with our 415 chain. If that is true, the darn thing would be a rack mount engine with just a minor change or two. Someone who knows more than me please explain my error in thinking and save me a lot of time and trouble.
The damage could be quite severe to the cylinder wall. Or it could be cleaned up, new rings/piston and good to go - or at least a leetle schmokey. I'm sure there are some "nice" images on the web. If you can get it for near free, then what the hey.

Dunno about chainsaw chain pitch and stuff
