I have an older(07'?) Stihl B 500 backpack blower; it wouldn't keep running after start and warm up, when I hit the throttle it would die but re-start with the same results. Brought it to a dealer who put a new ignition module, carb primer(said it was cracked) new air filter . Says the problem is the crankcase is leaking air and needs to be split and repaired with RTV. Big $ Never heard of this- any small engine mechs out there want to weigh in?
I get a strong feeling the kid doing the repair doesn't really know whats wrong and is working on flat rate. He offered to let me take it back in parts "to help us both out". Qu'est-ce ?
