Well we got it running today!
I talked with a guy at work that has been running r/c airplanes and cars for years. Asked if he'd be willing to help me out with it and see if we could get it running. After about 20 minutes of tuning, we got it running pretty good and idling pretty good. At one point the "golden bolt" assembly completely came out, with the bolt and throttle arm attached
Turns out that has been loose the whole time, I just thought it was normal since it had been like that from the beginning. We got everything put back together and started adjusting the needles. Car idles pretty good now and runs great. The car was VERY rich both low and high end. Came home and ran a tank through it and had a blast with it again. Thank you to everybody who helped out and tried to explain how this works to me! Can't wait to get home from work tomorrow and play some more
