One thing I would do (not saying you have to) is get a piston with a wider skirt.

That 440/460 sounds healthy!!!

Is there a piston that will retrofit without a whole lot of machine work?
Well the 681 has a 52mm piston and a 12mm wrist pin, but I think a ms460 piston would work. A 272 piston might work but I'm not sure about the difference in pin to top measurement.

Thanks
If you measure your pin to crown top on the 681 piston you can compare and contrast pistons that might work.

The 441 has always impressed me, and a little porting only makes things better.

Brad,
If you ever have a 441 for awhile again, let me know and I'll send you a BBN 441 to play with. I've sold just under 20 of them so far but, nobody has said anything one way or the other.
Regards
Gregg

No easy solution to that, that I know of. LINK. Of course that thread only applies to the 7900. I've not done any research on one for the 681.
I'm quite aggrevated. I went back out this evening and made a new video. I got home only to realize I hadn't captured cutting cookies from that same log. I cut back past those knots and cut at least 1/2 cookies at different loads, and different tuning.
Oh well. You can clearly see in the noodling shot that it's definately holding more RPMs in the cut. That's what I was after. I raised the transfers another 5° and widened them considerably. I just wish I had the cut times to compare to the other saws. Maybe tomorrow, lol.<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZUHv4KF0NhI&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZUHv4KF0NhI&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

How many CC's is that 681 Brad? Isn't it a tad bigger than the 7900 making it around 80cc???
I believe it's 81cc. Same basic saw though.

Awwww ok. Welp if it were me and I wanted to make it shine compared to those others you have there I'd be putting 28-30in bars on all of them. I think you'll see those extra CC's come to life then.
That 441 you guys are toying with is a bad mother, dayummm if that thing isn't walking through some wood, good job!!!
I'm totally smitten with that 441, it's a really strong 70cc saw. I don't see anything wrong with the 441 whatsoever, and IMHO I think it's a better saw than the 440/460.opcorn:
