Long story short, he didn't have all the screws tightened and had the idle adjustment completely wrong. Tightening the screws and setting the idle adjustment right I now have a fine running motor.
The total cost for the motor itself and my repairs....$10

Nice. Perfect time to get out on the water.
I usually have the opposite happen to me. I'll get something thinking I'll fix if for about $20 and it turns out to be a huge POS not worth having.
