I thought this would be very easy, but I was wrong.
The problem I am having is that I have to hold down the handle for it to flush. If I do not hold it down, the flapper closes right away, and if I hold it down for a half a second, the flapper will stay open to flush only about half the normal amount of water. This also causes the toilet bowl to have no water after a flush is completed.
I have tried adjusting both the float as well as the length above the float and wasted many gallons of water testing the adjustments, but nothing seems to solve the problem.
Any suggestions of what could solve the problem? The old flapper did have a float as well, but I have considered removing it completely, but not sure how easy it is to get back on, if that is not the problem.
