i have a 1956 evinrude 15 horse that was not run for about 5 years. I replaced the plugs and impeller and it starts fairly easily. It does not idle at low but will stay running at just below the "start" rpm. any lower and it makes a clank noise and sometimes it dies sometimes it comes back. it has a 2 line tank (pressurized) and runs well at higher RPM. Any ideas on the low speed clank noise and what should the idle and high speed knobs be set to? Is there a proper setting for the shift linkage? I'm wondering if the clank is the lower unit engaging. When I reinstalled the lower unit after replacing the impeller I just inserted the rod and thightened the bolt. It shifts into for and rev nicely and runs while in gear. THanks.
