" My bro in law has what I think is a 1962 Evinrude 15 hp (the last #'s in the serial/model # string is 62) Anyway, we were out this weekend and the motor made a terrible noise. We thought at first it was backfiring, but upon closer listening and stuff, we now think it may be something in the drive. It sounded like a knock, or clunk and the gear shifter would kind of jump when it did. It almost sounded like the drive mechanism would hit a bad spot, then thunk a time or two, then catch and go. The noise was random but frequent.
We don't know where to begin looking for a problem, or what to do to look. We don't want to tear up anything. Any help would be appreciated. "
