With the chain not moving, the peak input current is 50A on the
120V powered saw. The normal operating current is more likely
to be in the 15A range. That's at least a 3X multiplier.

The generator must be scaled a bit, to handle that surge
without stalling. If the generator is the same size as the
load, maybe it will stall out when you pull the trigger.

The generator (Honda EU20i) has been in use with the existing chainsaw
for many years. There have been no problems.
