I know you can't change anything on the chain, but I have yet to compare it with the chain saw teeth(I know it won't fit). So I'll need to tweak the chainsaw to get that to work, and by tweak I mean find a new sprocket.
I'm seriously considering(since the chain I've got pretty closely fits the bike(if its not dead straight close enough I'll just go get the sprockets that are on teh tractor it goes with)) just using the bike's rear assembly. It allows the chain to spin free of the wheel if you aren't applying load and I am pretty sure it could survive the chainsaw as its going to be a much more steady loading rather than the pulse/cyclic loading that we perform pedaling.
James I thought about using the electric ones but the battery life was pretty short of the ones I saw at THD. I think it was about 15 minutes and that won't even get me to anywhere lol let alone there and back. I do have a few spare drill batteries(from non-functioning drills that don't mate up to the new counterparts) but. . .
If the project works out well I may go electric on MKII, which will be my test-bed for CF fabrication and I can build in battery mounts(and engine mounts for that matter) as well as have a lighter platform for the motor.
