It suddenly wants to never completely stop 'filling', even after I’ve tried everything that I can think of. A new valve stack top, float, valve & gasket haven't changed anything. I've tried every imaginable adjustment & nothing helps.
I've got new spares of everything and I’ve tried them all.
There wasn't anything wrong with the old parts and they hadn't been installed for more than 2 years, so now I should probably just reinstall everything and keep the new parts new.
I bought a few complete sets of Kohler 1B1X Kit WP-TR-10 ball cock valve stacks with floats & arms a few years ago so I'd have spares. I’ve got a dozen ball cock valve repair kits too.
Obviously, the flapper isn't the cause, but I even put a fresh one on.
The oozing fill just continues so slowly that it never even overfills the thing that the flap is attached to. It just keeps slowing oozing water, apparently through the clear tube that leads down into the toilet's bowl, as I can see a tiny stream of water flowing into the bowl at the very front.
It always takes a little tug up on the float arm to complete the shut off, so I've been forced to just leave the tank's lid off. I know it's supposed to just pop up and close the valve when the float gets near the top.
They've all always done that on their own, as they should.
So, what the heck is wrong? I need help. I'm going crazy.
