Echo 30.1 Chainsaw hub?
I'm starting to convert a 30.1CC Echo chainsaw engine. My question is does the prop hub HAVE to thread into the crankshaft? I'm thinking about machining a prop hub that bolts to the flywheel using the starter dog holes already there. Seems like Zenoah and Fuji use this concept already.

Most of the prop drivers are setup to just fit over the crankshaft. They then use a bolt through the center to hold it on. Usually they have woodruff keys in there too. Bolting it on is fine, if you can keep it centered OK.
