Water leaking heavily into bowl even after replacing the valve kit

[Kumar81]

hello

My toilet was leaking water around inner rim into the bowl for quite some time. Since the set was really old, i thought of replacing it with a new set all together instead of just a flapper. I replace today with Korky Complete kit. The water is leaking heavily into the bowl, to a point where the tank is filled continously as water is just draining out. When I turn off the water valve the water leaking is stopping into the bowl and water is stagnant in the tank. Not sure if there is anything i did wrong or something is broke. Please advise.

When I turn off the water valve the water leaking is stopping into the bowl and water is stagnant in the tank.

How high is the water compared to the overflow at that point?

it is completely full to the level of the overflow tube.

You probably need to adjust the fill valve lower, so that the water shuts off when the water level is about 1/2 inch below the overflow top.

See steps 3 and 4:

You may be able to do the adjustment without removing the valve. See time 0:30 to about 1:00 in this:

thanks for this reference, I adjusted the height of valve but no luck. What is strange is, when water vale is shutoff, water is not leaking into the bowl even when the tank is full. As soon as i turn the water valve on water starts to get into the bowl continuously.

That would mean the fill valve is defective, or that your water pressure is much too high.

Which yellow letter would correspond to the water level in your tank vs your fill valve?

Did you use the clip from the hose to the overflow tube, or push the hose into the tube? The hose MUST be kept above the tube, or it can siphon water, keeping the fill valve running.
