Hi all you plumbing gurus. Need your help. Hopefully someone has seen this toilet. I am not sure what model this is. My closest guess is a Kohler Rialto but the diagrams do not show the diverter valve setup for the bowl feed. I got a genuine Kohler 84499 1B1X kit to install but it will not fit alongside the current fluidmaster flush valve that someone previously installed. Not sure how to remove without breaking it or what the original flush setup was. There is also the very old looking diverter valve and 3/4 tubing that feeds the bowl. Also not sure the handle/lever is original to this unit. I have spent countless hours trying to get info for a full rebuild. It works and I could just rebuild the Lasko fill valve but I want it to last for a while. Hopefully someone has seen this and I can get all the correct parts for a restoration. Thank you.

What I tell all of the customers of mine: "Totally stupid design, a failed concept, not worth any effort and poor flush, I will NOT work on them any longer."

That looks like an Eljer Cantebury toilet. Here is the link for parts for it.

Unless it is unique to the look/style of the bathroom, I would seriously consider replacing it. Once Piece toilets can be absolutely miserable to fix - hence why not many of them are sold anymore.

Thank you that's a close match. After further researching It is actually a Elger Windsor. It's a customers unit. I might just rebuild the flush valve because the only issue is it runs sometimes. They say can also replace the whole flush valve with a 1B1X-WF (without the diverter valve). Sometimes less is more though.
