Yes basically, I too had a Ryobi, engine died so bought a KM56, strimmer, please ok if you have a hedge trimmer you need to trim 1/4 - 1/2 inch off the tube tco make it locate deep in the KM connector. As the Ryobi attachments wore out I replaced them with genuine Stihl but at least got some use out of them.

 

Nice 1 👍 I bought a KM56 with no attachments, only wanted a long reach hedge cutters but got a hl75 for half the price of just hedge cutters for a km!

Probably the route I'll take then, I'll take the hedge trimmer attachment to the Stihl dealer and see if they'll let me try it on a km head.

I need to replace the both wires in my 200t. The yellow one is easy but how the hell do I get the black one to pull out? I tried pulling it through from the coil and now it is stuck the other side of the hole in the top of the saw. Also how do I get the new one in?

Thanks will

Split the crankcases, that will do it! I would usually cut and solder the wire for the reasons you have. You may be able to take the grommet out but wouldn't bother!

 

In the past, I have just repaired it and used shrink wrap to cover the joint.

Sounds like I'd better give up then and just keep choking it like I have for the last 6 months. Don't fancy splitting the crankcase. Wish I'd asked on here before I started fiddling
