I have a new 3.5hp (I think) "Works" largest 14" chainsaw that I want to
use the motor for a project. I need to know the RPM. I've had no luck
researching this and I no longer have an RPM meter. I imagine all
chainsaws have similar rpm. I need to get the ratios on timing belt
sprockets close to optimal.

Or baffled by your bull****. Either way I am looking forward to being
entertained.




It really is a good, useful idea, it will be a bit harder to build now
that I no longer have a machine shop. But using hand tools is good
practice. I will have to farm out a couple of turnings and a bit of
mill work.

If you don't mind some shipping costs I can help you out with some basic
stuff. I'm not a "real" machinist, but I am perfectly competent at turning
stock into a pile of unrecoverable chips.
