Hello
i have a very old American Standard Cadet F4049-16, it keeps running and i am trying to diagnose the problem and fix it
It seems to be running every 1 hour so so- very annoying. I am thinking if it is the flush valve- perhaps i should replace that? When i put my hand and touch the flushvale- especially the part that closes on top of the flapper- my hands are coated in black ink.
would that be the best part to change (FlushValve?)
any advice to a non-plumber would be great-
if it is rec to replace the Flushvalve- any good websites that sell for good price? would HomeDepot carry?
When i pull the chain- and let it go, maybe its not "sealing" and water gets through? Thanks for your help
