It;'s one of those things that trial and error I have creater 12 so far. It's not easy. I would reccomend dissassembling the clutch on it, and finding a bike peg that fits onto it(IE screws on or fits.) THis works well for a friction drive. Try welding a threaded axle of sorts where the back brake is attached at the crossbar. Make sure the engine is going the right direction, so you know how to build it so the bike goes foward. I would use angle iron in an "L" shap, able to be bought at home depot on the cheap.

what re-design said !  But leave th' chainsaw right up and let th' wheel you drive with th' engine friction drive th' bikes wheel !  This allows endless adjustments to th' final drive ratio !!
