Senix 4 stroke Canadian chainsaw

Found a turbo for a 50cc engine...

It's probably mush easier and more compact to supercharge it.

1.8 HP at 10.67 lbs won't exactly set the world on fire. Perhaps it makes decent torque? Maybe it has a small nitrous bottle hidden in the handle?

Being a 4 stroke, maybe it puts out 3.6hp for half the time of a 2 stroke. It could have a much longer power stroke via valve timing.

I'm saving the super charger for a different saw project... I've always wanted a diesel saw and I've read of a rumor of a Russian prototype from the 50s..

I'm thinking two stroke diesel like an old Detroit heavy but cool!

I'm thinking of it doesn't crank the rpm of a two stroke. Do a 3/8 050 chisel skip with an 8 or 9 tooth sprocket to get there chain up to an efficient speed.

I wish they made thin kerf 043 in full 3/8 not just low pro...

Anyone want to add? 3/8 or 404?
