if you need to ask how to fix a toilet on ATOT you are in over your head.
call a plumber.




ps. pics?
 

I never realized that one must 'calibrate' a toilet. I hope you used some Arctic Silver!

Dude, you only have one toilet in your place ?? One toilet is really rough. Best of luck ... and hopefully, you can find a close restaurant where you could use their john.

It sounds like you need to replace the internal valve/float assembly. These devices are only about $6.00 at your local Home Depot store. Then again, a plumber might charge $200 to fix the same thing on a Sunday.

Go to Hot Deals and type in the search term "john" Be sure you're not shopping for a refurbished model though :p

Good Lord! :p

The chain that lifts the flapper probably has a kink in it. Undo the kink and you'll be all set.
