I'm getting no spark on my FS75 trimmer. I'm going to order a new coil, but all the ones I see (all are non-OEM) are missing a gray wire that comes out of the body of the coil and has a ring terminal on it. That attaches to the the screw that mounts the coil and holds the terminals for the kill switch wires.

Will I be okay without this missing wire?

Your coil is an old style coil. The new coils are internal ground to the metal core, You should be fine; although, I don't trust after market coils.
