Hi all:
Now dealing with the second Toto in our new house (new to us; ToMto is probably from around 2005).
Longstanding problem was that it was filling in bursts rather than smoothly, and there was clearly all sorts of sediment in the tank. Then it started running continuously a few days ago, so I shut it off till I could deal with it.
Today I emptied it. One obvious problem is that the rubber gasket at the base of the valve had mostly disintegrated, and now is leaking. (Similar problem for the bolts connecting to the base). I also found a small piece of plastic from somewhere in the tank. No idea what it broke off of. See picture:

I washed out the crud, removed and rinsed out the valve. On putting it back in, slight improvement in the "burst" issue, but not entirely. Obviously I need to replace the rubber seals/bolts because of the leaking, but should I replace the valve as well? Anything else?
I am not sure of the model. it is a 2-piece marked 620X-2302 on the back inside wall of the tank.
It has a blue-top Corky valve.
Thanks as always!
