[DIY] Toilet Repair Assistance

 

Hey all, 


The other night using my toilet, the plastic pull chain inside the tank broke.  The toilet had been running for a while (leaky flapper, warped with age) so that meant today was toilet repair day.  

My toilet is a non-standard toilet - it's a Cato Cermanics toilet (never heard of them).  It's not quite 9 years old.  

I replaced the old float ball ballcock with a float cup ballcock.  No problem.   I replaced the old flapper with a Korky universal 3" flapper  and metal chain - no more running.  

However, now when we flush the toilet, the new flapper falls back down before the tank water has had a chance to run back into the bowl and actually flush.  

How do I slow down the flapper, so I don't have to stand there holding the handle down?  

Thanks in advance,

Maribeth
