    Lowe 1448 did i pay too much?

    Well. Motor left me stranded near the dock. Fortunately I could paddle back. It won't idle. It only runs with the throttle lever pulled all the way up. No big deal if it's just a filthy carb. I ordered a rebuild kit and will tear it down to rebuild. I've thought about it and I'm much...
