So I got an old chainsaw that works very good. I also have a motoried bike with an engine from one of the kits you can buy. Would the chainsaw engine work better than the one from the kit? I know I made a thread like this earlier but this is more specific to my build.
The current engine is a 2-stroke 66cc (I believe) engine from a motorized bike kit. Runs rather good and I can get it up to 40 rather quick. Goes faster but hits 40 without trouble.
The chainsaw is a 60's STIHL 08 chainsaw. I don't know what size the engine is but it is pretty big. Sometimes it is a bit of a pain to start but it runs rather good. I would mount it inside the frame, the same basic way the current engine is mounted. Planning on welding some sort of sprocket to the clutch and make it chain driven.
So would this chainsaw work better than the Chinese engine kit? Thanks in advance.
