Thank you for the detailed explanation. I got it. Going to now go and check whether the inside is leaking or whether it's just an adjustment required to be made. Either way, I know what to do now. Thanks again!
Your drummel idea would have been soo helpful when I did mine. It was quite the pain in the A$$ to get that off. But used snips and got it clipped off carefully enough to get it off.
Not sure if you already addressed this, but would any of this fix a problem with the bowl water level lowering after the flush is complete? I turned off the water supply to the toilet to see if there was a leak. There wasn’t. Water stayed in the bowl but no matter how high I turn the dial to get more water in the bowl, water will not stay at that level. It slowly lowers to a certain, almost “pre-set” level.
Good info. Quick question how do you see how much the project is going to cost? I tried and it says to send my email so that they can send a contractor out. But I just want to see how much it will cost me to see how much I am saving. Thanks
I typically Google search "cost to repair X" (X being whichever task or job it is). Home Advisor usually shows up towards the top of search results and when you click it their link usually takes you to a page where they list the average cost range nationally.
The old components needed their settings tweaked so more water was diverted to the bowl (and less from the tank) but since the components were old and brand new ones were cheap, we installed all new ones then showed how to tweak the settings to make sure the bowl got enough water before the tank filled up and turned off the in flow of water
It was a complete refurb kit. I could have kept the 20-year-old parts that we're working at the moment or I could replace them with brand new parts that came with the kit I had purchased. Only took a little bit more time, in my estimation totally worthwhile. Toilet has worked flawlessly all these years after
The parts that make your toilet work are not optimally working or have gone bad. Replace them with a cheap kit like you see in this video and your problem is fixed

I also have this problem but you find out what was the chose?
Edit: if so how did you rectify it?
Awesome tutorial, very informative.
Thank you!

Do you mean when I look at websites like HomeAdvisor.com?
DIYAroundTheHome yes

DIYAroundTheHome I tried that but not working for me. Once you are in home advisor what do you click to see the prices
DIYAroundTheHome it just says enter zip to compare quotes from contractors
Why was the water low ? What was the prob
The old components needed their settings tweaked so more water was diverted to the bowl (and less from the tank) but since the components were old and brand new ones were cheap, we installed all new ones then showed how to tweak the settings to make sure the bowl got enough water before the tank filled up and turned off the in flow of water
There's absolutely no reason that the flush valve has to be positioned at the angle shown. The chain on the flapper only has to reach the lever.
I'll probably just buy a new toilet😊
Why would you remove the tank ! That is totally unnecessary

You are serious right
Sorry I can’t watch all this so can anyone just tell me in a few sentences what the problem is so I can fix it?
