Try to avoid any really cheap chainsaws. Go for a name brand. Also, if you get a used saw, go ahead and replace the chain when you get it (they're less than $20) or spend a few hours sharpening the one it came with...

I have a Husqvarna 350 that I couldn't be happier with. Just take good care of whatever saw you get. I oil and sharpen mine after every 3 or so hours of continuous use.

get a stihl chainsaw
The good old Stihl vs Husky arguement
I get around it by having a Husky in a Stihl chainsaw bag
All chainsaws idle. The chain is only powered once you pull the dual triggers to engage the clutch.
Otherwise it'd be a bitch trying to work with a chainsaw with a constantly engaged chain.

Wow... I wasted a whole 3 minutes of my life typing out a reply about chainsaws...
For a skateboard motor, just go for something with a big engine that runs smoothly and starts on the first or second yank of the ripcord. Keep it oiled.
@hotwired
go Husky 8)

You probly should have something 40 cc's or bigger for what your doing. You will have to change the sprocket. Just get a go-cart sprocket 12 teeth or so and have it welded in place of the old one so you can use the oridgenual clutch. Other wise you will have to modify the crankshaft, (that gets costly).
Id like to see some pics of it, i've never seen one.

45 cc engoines are tiny. 50 cc dirtbikes are what they use for 2-4 year olds.pyromanic13 wrote:really, my metal teacher told me about any saw will work I'm only 120 pounds so I think 45 is alittle powerful, and STIHL's are freakin expensive
