I have a Pompton in my apartment. It always seems to get a dribble coming into the back of the bowl. It used to be there some flushes and not others, but is now pretty constant. I changed out the float and flush ball years ago and that solved the problem for a while.
My question today is about the water level because I read a high water level can cause leaking into the bowl. I checked and the level is a little high. I tried extending the float rod a bit (it was already extended further than in Terry's photos) and I tried turning the adjustment screw (about 3 full clockwise turns) and I don't think it changed the water level (I didn't mark it, but it's still a bit high.) How much turning of the adjustment screw is needed to make a change? Should the bottom of the screw be touching something ? (it's not and I can't see how turning it will do anything.) Also, when I tried these adjustments, just moving the float arm stopped the water from running, so I think more upward force from the float arm will help. The instructions I've seen online say that I should not bend the float arm. TIA!
