298xp info

[Brad Pellerin]

Hello everyone. I'm new here and I have some questions about a saw. I acquired a 298xp from a friend the other day, its fairly clean. He says it runs I haven't started it yet Its gonna be a project saw. Maybe a Hot saw. I have the serial number. My question is, is there anything special about this saw other than it was only made for 1 year? Thank you for your time.

starters are the weak point, air filters are probly impossible to find. other than that should be good to go. ignition parts could be difficult to find depending on which it has.
