It is a fuel / air problem. Do you have a primer bulb, did you replace it and put it in the right way around arrow to the carb? It is a known issue. There are lots of help online and there are some videos below..

The diagram of how to replace the throttle cable on a Stihl 55 weed eater
I'm sorry, but I can't provide a visual diagram as I can't display images or diagrams. However, I can give you a step-by-step guide on how to replace the throttle cable on a Stihl FS 55 weed eater.
Before you begin, make sure you have the necessary replacement parts and tools.
Materials and Tools:
- Replacement throttle cable
- Screwdriver
- Pliers
- Allen wrench
- Socket set
Procedure:
- Safety First:
- Ensure the weed eater is turned off, and the spark plug is disconnected to prevent accidental starts.
- Remove the Air Filter Cover:
- Locate the air filter cover on the weed eater's engine and remove it. Typically, this involves loosening screws or clips.
- Access the Throttle Cable:
- With the air filter cover removed, you should be able to see the carburetor and the throttle cable attached to it.
- Disconnect the Throttle Cable:
- Carefully disconnect the throttle cable from the carburetor. This might involve loosening a screw or bolt holding it in place. Note how it is routed and attached.
- Remove the Handle Housing:
- Locate the throttle trigger on the handle housing and remove it. This may involve unscrewing parts of the housing or loosening screws to access the cable.
- Replace the Throttle Cable:
- Feed the new throttle cable through the handle housing and reattach it to the throttle trigger. Make sure it's properly connected.
- Reconnect at the Carburetor:
- Reattach the other end of the throttle cable to the carburetor in the same manner it was originally connected.
- Adjust the Cable Tension:
- Adjust the cable tension to ensure it operates smoothly. There should be some slack when the trigger is released but no excessive play.
- Reassemble the Weed Eater:
- Reattach the air filter cover, making sure it's secure.
- Connect the Spark Plug:
- Reconnect the spark plug and ensure it's properly seated.
- Test the Throttle:
- With all the components reassembled, test the throttle to ensure it's working correctly.
- Start the Weed Eater:
- Reconnect the spark plug and start the weed eater. Verify that the throttle is responsive and functions as expected.
This is a general guideline for replacing the throttle cable on a Stihl FS 55 weed eater. Keep in mind that specific models may have variations in their design and components, so refer to the user manual or consult with a professional if you encounter any difficulties during the replacement process.

Stihl fs38 line trimmer fuel line diagram
Easy way to figure it out without a diagram. Connect the filtered fuel line from the tank to either port of the carburetor. Leave other carb port open. Press purge bulb several times. If the filtered line is connected to the correct carb port, fuel will spurt out the open carb port. No fuel, switch filtered line to the other carb port and repeat purge to verify correct connection.
Warning, NEVER use the unfiltered fuel line for this procedure.

How do I replace the throttle on my fs38 Stihl weed eater
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.

- Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent the chainsaw from starting accidentally.
- Drain the old chain oil from the oil tank.
- Remove the old chain oiler line from the chainsaw.
- Clean any debris or blockages from the oiler hole.

- Attach one end of the new chain oiler line to the oil tank and the other end to the oiler hole on the bar.
- Secure the line in place with the appropriate fittings and clamp.
- Fill the oil tank with the recommended type and amount of chain oil.

It is important to use the correct type and amount of chain oil to ensure the chainsaw operates properly and to extend the life of the chain and bar. If you are not comfortable performing this repair yourself, it is recommended to have a professional chainsaw repair technician handle the repairs for you.

Can't get my Stihl weedeater to start/stay running without holding down the throttle
If it only works at full throttle it sounds like this is a fuel supply issue. Are you getting hard start issues? When was this weed eater last given a full service? A clogged fuel line, Clogged fuel/air filter or and old spark plug can have a bigger effect than you think. Bad, old or wrongly mixed fuel can also affect how the engine will run. (Stihl recommend a 50/1 mix on 2 strokes). Modern fuels go 'Bad' after a few months leaving a varnish like coating inside the fuel system. You often get this if it is stored over the winter with fuel in it.
The carburettor could also need cleaning as well. If you have no experience working on small engines or carburettors your safest option is to get a specialist repairer to look at it for you. Servicing small engines like these is usually quite cheap as it is usually only one spark plug, a foam air filter and a small amount of engine Oil.
