If you are talking about the Flush Value, you have my condolences. I used to sell Fluid Master Tank Balls and kits. They work well on non-problem toilet tanks. However, if you have an old toilet, things can get messy and frustrating.
Rusty Bolts can be taken out but you have to make sure that they didn’t damage their holes in the tank. If you tighten them too much, they can crack the tank.
If WD-40 doesn’t work, you can try to cut the bolt off and push the rest out of the tank (if you can reach it). I find that using a blowtorch or flamethrower to loosen them only damages the bolt and tank, and can occasional burn down the house.
I have a relatively new handle on my toilet but I cannot get the handle and locking pin to line up right no matter how many times I try. The toilets with the offset handle insert holes stink. Make sure you get one that is all flat contact and not at any angles.
Just jawing. Had a big rainstorm in the DC area. Bad enough to keep the killings down unlike Chicago which is on a roll.
Trump is having good rallies here despite the amount of liberal “stupids” we have. They move in like invasive weeds. Hard to get rid of and the sheer scope of their stupidity is not only amazing, but absolutely appalling.
Greetings from what is left of the Old America.
Good evening/morning, MadMax.....I’m going to print out your comments and give them to my handyman. When I reach under the tank and touch the bolt all I get is a wet and rusty hand. I’ve been keeping a cup under the drip. If that was the only problem I would just keep the cup there. But...now the toilet won’t stop running, albeit very slowly. Bending the float doesn’t help, and when I pull it up, and the running water stops, the tank starts to empty.
Thanks for the hints. It is an old toilet, but it is 17” and very helpful for really bad knees. I probably should start saving for a new one.
I’m thinking the flamethrower might be a little much. d:o)
It’s good to hear that Trump is having success in DC...ironic for sure.
