chainsaw powered bike

i have a homelite xl 12inch saw. the motor runs great.

I would like to use it to power one of the extra bikes i have.

the saw has a centrifical clutch with a 6 tooth sprocket i measured it and its pretty dam close to the 415 size that my puch uses? one problem is gearing the saw probably runs 7000rpm any ideas would be great.

don't murder a bike like that unless u r missing the motor it would be easier to put the chain saw engine on minibike or something like that

Put it on an amf roadmaster.

Funny you posted this right as I saw this when randomly browsing pictures and stuff:

I'm sure you could email him for some ideas/thought sharing.

Though he used a regular bike, I'm sure there's something he could input to your endeavour.
