Kind of a redemption as I couldn't run it in the mini gtg with bob because it wouldn't oil. SO rummaged around the parts pile and have a good nos oil line. Put that in....and ran it for a bit in this one

Is that a cousin to the 2100 CD, you think?
The 298 was the predecessor to the 2100. It had starter issues due to the small diameter of the recoil pulley making it a beech to start. That was corrected on the 2100.
It was only made for 1 year, 86-87 , Husky tried to lighten up saw with lighter flywheel and plastic two pawl starter and dump the manual oiler , it was meant to be predecessor to the 2100 , but many thought differently including me ,
Wasn't the 1100 the predecessor to the 2100, followed by the 2101? The 298 was an economy model, in a manner of speaking.
How was it the "economy" model?
OK, lightweight. I only own 2100s and a 2101. Almost no difference between those 2. I am sure the 298 was sold at a slightly lower price point due to the omission of the manual oiler and the plastic recoil.
Listen to yourself young man. Your all effed up on this one.
Did I?
Yea , forgot to put the 2101 in there , instead of 2100, my 298 changed starter cover to 2100 style, new rings , and thinner base gasket , original was almost .04 ,
