Why does my Stihl blower not start?

A leaf blower that won't start at all may require fuel. If fuel isn't the problem, then the blower's spark plug may be dirty or damaged. Remove the spark plug, and wipe it dry with a clean rag. If the problem was the spark plug, then the blower should start properly.
