Stihl 018 Starting Problem

I will try and cover all things checked/replaced.

Dealer replaced Fuel line and filter. Sat for 2 weeks and wouldn't start. I replaced gas and carb. Saw started right away and ran a few minutes and stopped. Replaced fuel line, filter and Stihl Motomix fuel (92). Replaced the ignition module today. Saw started on the 2nd pull and slowly quit. Before I run out and buy a new saw,

the new carb has a "tower" and o-ring. The old one did not have this feature. The new carb # is 1130 120 0603 B. Is this just a "dummy" not used on all saws?

I love mechanical work on cars, but this has me really "stumped". (No pun..)

Thank you for any thoughts!

John
