Question edited for clarity, and add MAKER, took me ages to work out what 'adjust the cab' was! Question moved to make model category. Information and videos in the link https://www.google.com/search?q=stihl+fs38+weed+eater+carburetor+adjustment ..

Question edited for clarity - maker name. No idea what you mean by a 'cruses shaft'. FULL 'make model (what is is)' in all questions please. Here is one versus the other. I would think shaft swapping was fine. https://www.google.com/search?q=Stihl+fs38+v+stihl+fs45 ..

You should go by what the oil manufacturer says on the side of the two stroke oil bottle, if you cannot do this a 25.1 ratio will be ok.

This is quite a big job, start by removing the top cover, disconnect the throttle cable and pull to one side, remove the plug cap and unhook the ht lead from the alloy clamp, remove the three allen headed screws around the drum housing, carefully remove the housing (do not lose the two rubbers from the fuel tank lugs ) with the tube and shaft still connected, you will need to now remove the two wires from the ignition unit to allow it to free from the engine unit, now on the right hand side, through the plastic cover, slacken the two tube clamping screws, now pull the housing off the end of the tube, if the shaft is a square into the drum it will just come away, down in the housing remove the circlip on the end of the drum, use a drift to tap the drum out through the bearing, if the shaft is screwed to the drum, you will need to pull the shaft out of the tube, you will need to clamp the shaft in some soft jaws to unscrew the drum. Good luck.

Dean: Adjust the carburetor screws in all the way...do not force them. back the screws out one and a quarter turns and the machine should try to start. adjust the screws one at a time... one quarter of a turn until the machine runs properly. Then adjust the idle.

Not sure you can buy pre mixed fuel in Australia? And I've lived there for many years. It is always a good idea to use the manufacturers specific mix..See link..https://www.tyreline.co.nz/2-stroke-fuel-guide/
I know its not your machine, but same idea..cheers

exactly what is the question there are a number of blades available on the market that fits on the ends of straight shaft drives of trimmers that include alligator , fixed blade or chain saw blade the alligator is a head that has 3 stainless blades that are free to pivot , the fixed is like a triangle and the chainsaw is round with a chainsaw attached to the circumference

Check the float on the carburator sounds like it is stuck

It is pretty easy to fix if you are the least bit handy. Order what you need from Amazon or your local service center. Or, contact your local Homelite retailer/service center directly or online here: https://register.homelite.com/sign-in
