Stihl BR400 leaf blower hot start problem

I'm having trouble with my leaf blower.

 

It starts fine from cold, runs well thereafter, but stopping it and then trying to restart it is impossible.

 

Checking the plug reveals that it's bone dry. Spark is good.

 

I've changed the fuel filter, the fuel tank cap (Google suggested blocked breather in the cap) and a new plug. I've ordered a new carb kit, still waiting for it to arrive. I bought a new ignition module too, but the spark seems fine so haven't fitted it yet.

 

I've stripped and blown out the carb and fuel line.

 

I'm running out of ideas, where should I look next?

 

Cheers, Peter
