To replace the throttle on a Stihl FS38 weed eater, you'll need to follow these steps:
Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting.
Locate the throttle cable where it connects to the carburetor and carburetor housing.
Use pliers to loosen the lock nut on the carburetor side of the throttle cable and slide the cable out of the carburetor and carburetor housing.
Replace the throttle cable with the new one, feeding it through the carburetor and carburetor housing and tightening the lock nut on the carburetor side with pliers.
Check the operation of the throttle by starting the engine and confirming that the throttle cable moves freely and the engine speed changes accordingly when the throttle is manipulated.
Reconnect the spark plug wire.
It's recommended to consult your FS38's user manual for specific instructions as the process may vary slightly based on the model.

I googled your fs38. It is a Stihl FS38. The first sight on the search comes up with an 82 page operating manual from stihl.ca This should help. Good Day.
