Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl metering diaphragm is a small, flexible membrane used inside the carburettor of backpack leaf blowers to control fuel flow with precision. Made from a fuel‐resistant elastomer designed to hold its shape against petrol and ethanol blends, it helps keep the engine stable at idle and responsive under load. It is intended for Stihl blower models such as the BR500 and BR600, where accurate metering is essential for easy starting, smooth acceleration, and consistent power. Over time, diaphragms can harden or warp, leading to poor running. Replacing the metering diaphragm restores correct carburettor function and helps prevent flooding, lean running, or hesitation. This is a Genuine Stihl part engineered for a correct fit and reliable operation in demanding outdoor use.
