Chainsaw ignition?

[honda02]

I got a box full of parts of my old chainsaws out the other day just to look around. I pulled out a working engine, saw that the spark plug hole was stripped. Changed out the top end, and hit a wall. The new top doesnt have holes for the stator, nor is the crankshaft ground where it should be to activate the switch. I dont know ANYTHING about these things, so. Did this saw have a stator? Does it need one now? as a side note, I dont care if this engine explodes, so all ghetto solutions are welcome!

Anyways purpose is I modified the clutch to fit a bike chain. Im going to throw it on an old road bike chillin in my garage and piss off my neighbors. Granted it would probably be more rewarding to throw the motor and the parts out of my car on the highway, but. Im just that bored...

How about just heilicoiling the old heads spark plug threads: http://www.buyhardwaresupplies.com/?t=5&m=g1&itemNumber=85881

A more ghetto method you might try is to find 2 spark plugs with same larger thread size, but equal reach and hopefully heat range as your original spark plug. You could then mod one of these spark plugs threads to resemble a thread chaser, (like this; http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ct...cpc&zmam=33951326&zmas=12&zmac=112&zmap=97277) to carefully tap your head to match the larger thread size. Aluminum is prety easy to tap new threads in but you may need to enlarge the hole to the corect size with a drill bit first.

Thanks man. Is there any way I could get both to run? assuming that I get a spark plug fitted in the stripped head. Im still stuck on this no stator issue...
