I've managed to scavenge enough parts to mount a 42cc chainsaw onto a bike rack on my 26" mountain bike. Now I am in the process of figuring out if i need a jack shaft or if I can weld a sprocket to either the clutch or just the engine and run a chain to the rear wheel. I know that in all likelihood I will need to weld a sprocket to the clutch and run a chain to the rear wheel. I would like any input into whether I can use the clutch that came with the chainsaw or if I need a new one or could weld it directly to the engine. I'm pretty sure that a sprocket on the chainsaw would be better than a friction drive, as I plan to drive it in the rain, and that makes friction drives almost impossible. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
