Jonsered cs 2141 won't idle any ideas?

Need to seal off the exhaust and intake and do a pressure vacuum test via the spark plug. Spray soapy water around the crank on both ends. See if the seals are leaking.

thanks for all the ideas.
I may just buy a new saw, it's 20+ years old.

My Jred 2255 was giving me similar issues so I bought a new Husky 562 XP as a fix

Just bought an Echo to replace the smashed Stihl. Good saw. Much less too. Echo's are made in Japan. Very good runners, half the cost of the Stihl. Recommended by me.
