It sounds like it's rich needs smaller jet but a minaralli is ok to . I know how you feel when I Bought the phantom version 2 it kept messing up so I got rid of the makuine vm18 carburetor went back to the NT speed carburetor changed the piston and rings and pin bearing to stihl chainsaw parts more reliable and I must have taken it apart 10 to 15 times before I got it right good luck with whatever you decide to do ride safe brother
