On the lever that the chain attaches to at the top, is there more than one
hole that you could fasten the chain to. You might want to try to hook the
chain further in or further out on the lever. I really don’t know if that is
even possible but is worth looking at.


Good luck

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Toilet troubles

Hi guys,

Last week I had to replace the guts inside the tank. The rubber flap at the
tank base, the chain and lever attached to the exterior flush handle, etc.
With all new guts in the tank, when I flush, if I just push down the lever
and let go instantly, the toilet starts to flush, then stops. If I hold
down the lever for three to five seconds, then it works fine. I tried
shortening the chain linking lever to flapper, hasn't helped. Leaving a
little more play in the chain. Hasn't helped. It used to be just push the
lever, toilet flushed fine, but now I can't figure out what might be
adjustable that I could tinker with to get it to flush with just the old
press and let go action. Any suggestions? I believe I opened the valve out
of the wall to the tank right back to where it used to be, and it seems the
tank is just as full as it always was, so it is just the issue of needing to
hold down the handle that is bugging me. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

Best,
Joe Monks
