I have given this kind of project some thought in the past... I would gut the saw of any unnecessary components... such as the handlebars, oiling system, chassis, etc... or just use the engine from an older McCulloch saw... They have a lil engine that easily unbolts from the saw... For the drive setup I would use bicycle chain... find a small sprocket from the rear of a multi-speed bicycle and bore the inside of it out to fit over the original chainsaw sprocket, then have them welded together.. You might need to add a jackshaft to get the necessary gear reduction depending on your rear wheel diameter and sprocket selection

u bolt the peg to the motor so its like a spindle on a goped the mount you have to mount the motor to the frame sry i dnt got any pics me and my friends did that like 6 years ago it was so ghetto but it work and it was fun it had no exhuast and a string as a throttle cable lol
