pop quiz! (i ask because i don't know)

What are the correct millimeter sizes for stihl starter cords?

MS200T
MS260
MS361
etc...
Hedge trimmers
Back pack & hand held Blowers
 
Most string trimmers, blowers, hedge clippers I use 3.0mm
Saws up 60cc's I run 3.5mm
Saws 70cc+, and cut off saws I use 4.0 or 4.5mm can't remember off hand.
 
I bumped up the dia a little on my 361.
I wanted the bigger handle Elasto Start.

I would get the part number for you, but the rain is coming down
about as hard as I ever seen it rain, right now.

I have been in several Piussing matches over rope size, as some of the manufacturers has 4 and 4.5 etc on their rolls, but they don't always mean
4mm and 4.5 mm, so I have all sizes, and just "eyeball" the size when I install the rope.

Others will jump in soon......
