Anyone know where to get a roller chain clutch for a chainsaw???

well i have this chainsaw motor that i want to put into an rc car, but i cant find a centrifugal clutch that will fit the engine, it has to be for a two stroke engine and has to drive regular roller chain instead of chainsaw chain.
Does anyone know where to get one?
a website maybe?
i'm pretty desperate at this point
THANKS ALOT!

    Which make of chainsaw is the Motor…….use one thats compatible. now for the sprocket. you can adapt one to the clutch, or you could weld a suitable sprockit onto either the clutch or the existing sprocket (my solution).

    the hp loads wont be to high so this should work. when welding the sprokets together, I suggest a jig that will make them concentric…you dont want an off center sproket.

    good luck

    napa carries stihl chainsaws and parts, or just go to stihl online. just type in centrifigul sprocket clutch, and you should find what you need.

    Take the sprocket to a machine shop and show them what you want they will be able to help. Another way is to take the sprocket you have that fits the chain and weld it to the old sprocket.
