Just moved into a 15 year old home so I think the toilet of interest is that old. It is an American Standard 1.6gpf two piece toilet. The tank seems really big to me and when flushed, the flapper stays open so long that all the water is used. This results in a double flush. The flapper looked pretty grungy to me so I replaced the flapper and flush valve assembly (the old one had one of those arms with a big float on it and there was no way to adjust the water shut-off point).
The new parts (flush valve and flapper by Korky) did not change anything (well, it's a lot quieter). But the new flapper stays open until all the water has been used and there is a double flush. There is no float on the flapper chain.
What should I try next?
