I am guessing that lowering the coolant level fixed the overflow and smell problem. Stalling is not related to the coolant level. Leave the coolant where it is for now.
Does it start right back up and idle normally when it dies coming to a stop? Or is it hard to restart. Maybe the idle is set too low. Maybe the idle jets are set too lean. What carburetor so you have on your engine?
