Husky 235 won't idle

Hello.
New to the forum.
I have a lightly used 235 (2008). It was having some running
issues so I cleaned up the carb and reinstallled. Nothing
changed. Bought a new carb. Much harder to start. Put
original back on and swapped to a new coil. No changes.
Noticed a lot of oil in muffler. Replaced cylinder and piston.
No change.
I have a friend who is a small engine guy for about 10 years.
He has done over 200 chainsaws. He is ready to give up on
this(has about 4 hours into it; I have 1 hour doing the first
carb.
Symptoms: Will start fairly easily, runs well between 10-20
seconds, then shuts down. It has done this through the numerous
teardowns.
If you hold the throttle wide open, I will continue to run, but
shutdowns after letting off throttle.
He has adjusted the jets numerous times, from factory to quite a
more and/or less; no changes.
My friend doesn't like to lose, but we are out of ideas. My 435
will fire up even after for sitting over a year. This 235 is
driving us nuts.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
jeff

Have you done crank seals etc and done air leak testing?
Pressure and vacuum or good old redneck way at least.
235 isnt really worth a hour of labor time if had to pay
someone. GL

Thanks for the reply.
No, no pressure test, but my guy said he was thinking it might
be crank seals and wasn't worth repairing.
