I have a Kohler K4521 which, having read some of the postings,
is apparently not a particularly great toilet.
Nonetheless, I replaced everything in the tank - including the
seal where the tank connects to the bowl with a Korky's kit.
The seal configuration was different*, but I have no idea if that
caused this problem:
- There is absolutely no water coming in to wash the bowl.
The whole flush looks to be caused by only the vacuum
created by the tank water sucking it down.
(I'm sure I'm not using the right terms here)
* the original seal configuration was the big, rubber washer
with a triangular flange for the 3 bolts to pass through.
The new configuration has just a huge, fat seal with no flange
for bolts. The bolts simply have separate little washer / seals.
Thanks in advance for helping me avoid trying to fix this thing for a 3rd time.
