Default Re: so what happens

Thanks I had that question when I saw the chain drive. It looked like a gear not a sprocket. I might get my neighbor to weld the #35 sprocket I have onto the chain saw clutch and go with the scooter wheel friction drive. I can't imagine a direct drive to the bike running very well with a 40cc engine. Then again who knows.

One of the things I read was about a guy putting a bike sprocket on the chainsaw and running his mountain bike gears with it. He just welded the pedals on so they looked like a regular bike.

With centrifugal clutch and about six gears minimum it might work okay. I think he started with a bike with two front chain rings. used one for the bike to chainsaw and the other to the rear wheel. Does that sound doable.
