    The 681 I ran with stock springs was way to easy to hit the limit travel and actually feel more vibrations. I never got to run one with the 7900 springs but the 7900s are much stiffer feeling which I like. They weigh a little more than the 70-81cc class but the power is nice.

    It looks pretty good in the picture. I would imagine you can get it back going pretty easily. Hopefully they didn't leave it half full of ethanol gas so you have to go through the whole fuel system too.

    they are about 15lbs

    I have weighed all 3 saws 7900=14.2lbs, 681=15lbs, and a 390xp= 16.1lbs so about right in the middle.

    Good luck on your quest for a good 681 crankshaft. I am not sure that they ever built a good one. I have seen 6 of the 681's that broke the crank. The first two that I had seen had port work done and ran the 272 Husky coils. I assume that the crank couldn't take the higher rpms. The next 4 that broke were on bone stock 681's.
    Solo has been good about it. When I get one with a bad crank they replace the whole saw, no age limit. I have to send them the complete old saw for replacement. They will then replace the 681 with a new 675 as they have no 681's left.
    If you still want the longer stroke of the 681, I would suggest sending out your Dolmar crank and have it stroked.

    Broken 681 Crank

    Here is the last 681 broken crank that I had in. The crank is also twisted and you can see the big end rod pin has moved out and it also chewed up the engine case.

    Dan, when you say twisted, do you mean that the counter weights are now not in line because one has spun a liitle more than the other due to the big end moving?

    are they all failing the same?
    Looking for ANY Husky 2100/2101 parts...NOS, NEW or in NEW condition.

    Looking for Husky 266 starter, chain brake, top cover in VG or New condition

    Looking for 272 parts

    cheers,
    Serg

    The answer is yes to both of your questions. Solo tells me that they have corrected the problem with crank failures. The crank that I pictured above was from a 681 replacement saw for another bad crank.
