leaf blower repair

I have a Stihl hand held leaf blower. It runs fine when the engine is cold. After 5 or 10 minutes it loses rpm and dies. It then will just start and die. I've had the carb rebuilt and a new plug installed also new air filter all work done at the dealer. Now he claims it's bad gas. The gas was purchased about three weeks ago anf I added the proper amount of oil plus I put Stabil in the fuel also. I also used the gas in a different leaf blower since the repairs and it runs fine, so that should rule out bad gas. Any suggestions will be appreciated. George
