Yep...
You might get it fixed.... And you also might have a stroke from the mechanic's bill...
and you then might use what's left of your brain to set fire to your bike...
...then, finally, topping it off with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to finish the job.
Don't jump off the deep end. Everything is going to be fine. 
Calm down. Take it easy. This stuff can be tough, but, from what I gather, a Savage is ridiculously easy to repair compared to other bikes. The stock carb, in my experience, works great. Do the fuel flow test. open the float bowl and see how fast the gas drains out. Simple as that. Once you know that, you'll then be able to reduce the number of possible causes. If you feel you need a carb kit, which, unless I'm mistaken consists merely of a couple o-rings, a float valve, and a float bowl gasket, you can get K&L kit 18-5064 off EBay for around 16 bucks.[b] Now, that's no guarantee it'll fix anything. Unless the problem has to do with those 2 little o-rings (possible, don't know, but I doubt it) or the float bowl gasket is leaking (inconvenience, not applicable),
the only thing that is likely to cause you a problem is the float valve. It can stick open or shut or fail to seal properly. This means you will have either flooding or starvation, and it can be intermittent.
If it's not the float valve, buying a kit won't do a darn thing. On the other hand.... it might do something.
You just won't know until you try it, and it either helps or it doesn't. The dealership will do the same, and they'll charge you for labor.
Listen to Justin. Take it easy. Let it go. You can't ride your bike right now. Even if you took it to the shop, chances are, if they have to install any parts, there's a high risk they'll have to be ordered, which will take time. [b]If you want to take the easy way out and hire it done, that's fine as long as you're going to be happy with the consequences.
You won't learn, and you'll blow money. Running to the dealer won't help you. You'll get your best support here, both technically and emotionally. Dealerships seem to lack both somehow.
Take this opportunity to learn how to fix your bike and potentially save a lot of money. One shop (not dealer) I talked to charges $75 per hour for labor. If you're not careful, you can dump as much as the bike's worth in repair costs. Worse than that, you'll be
dependent upon the costly assistance of the mechanic. The more you work on your bike, the better prepared you will be
to work on it.
You'll have the satisfaction that comes with accomplishment and learning, and you'll save money. Burning money on the bike is liable to drain your pockets and your morale.
Working on your bike as a newbie can be a tough job, full of frustration. Are you ready?
