carb floats sticking

I was wondering, though I cleaned the carb floats, some of them still stick. I did not mix them up at all. Will these come loose from vibration, as the bike is running? The floats that stick if tapped or vibrated will somewhat come loose.
Thank Duane

Try some SeaFoam or other gasoline additive, it worked for me. It cleared up a sometimes sticking float and a mid range stumble.
Mopar Tony listed the SeaFoam ingredients as alcohol and Naptha, i think.
I ran through two tanks of gas with the additive and it seems to have done the trick. I ALWAYS go for the easy solutions first.
Good luck, Duane.

It used to work for me. Just about every spring the floats would stick and after tapping them a few times I would take it out and give it a run. Just be careful it doesn`t leak too bad and spew gas all over your hot motor.
