I was born in Hagerstown. My Dad built a kit-plane in the house over the winter.

I am, after all, in South La., and even though we have had one of the coldest winters on record, and the first snow in about 30 years, we still have lotsa riding time. Kyle has it better in Houston, because he's closer to the water...

I used a whole can in a full tank of gas. Even rode it around a bit. So is that it? the fuel stabilizer is supposed to keep them from sticking!?! Should I have used 2 cans?

Sounds like your fuel stabilizer, if you used one, did not stop the varnish buildup? From: Angela Kennedy To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, March 21, 2010 10:05:07 PM Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Sticking floats Anybody know what causes floats to stick and how to keep it from happening? It seems every spring when I start the bike for the first time, I have gasoline leaking big time and I was told that it was the floats sticking. A friend told me to tap the bottom of the carburetor with a small tool to unstick them. But I wanna know the technical way to unstick them. If there is one. Thanks.
