Pictures! Also are the fly wheel fins bent and if so would that cause it to not start?

It sounds like you have a valve lash problem if it shoots flames out the carb.
The flywheel fins look fine, if anything just rusty.
Have you torn apart the carb yet? That is probably why it won't idle.

Make sure you haven't missed anything by watching KartFab's video.
Also, make sure the air filter isn't nasty, one of Carsandcameras' CT200s had an oily air filter that was causing it to run like crud.
And again, I would check the valve lash with a set of feeler guages.
Also I'd play around with the air fuel mixture screws on the carb.
