    The float may be rattling against the inside of the tank once the fuel gets low enogh to stop it from wobbling..The fix for that would to simply remove the sending unit and gently tweek the arm on way or the other so it goes up and down more in the center of the gas tank cavity. Another possibilty is that the rubber cushions on the frame have shrunk a bit..Rubber parts over a long period of time have a tendency to shrink ..thus indiucing an area where things can rattle. Are all the frame cushions there and in the proper places?

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
