My Kohler one piece toilet has been working fine for
about 3 years, now, but recently, the simple rubber
flapper has been leaking at various rates after I flush.
Sometimes, it makes a good seal, but usually it slowly leaks.
So, I replaced the flapper but it still leaks sometimes,
not always. I've fiddled with the adjustment. I'm a
plumber (construction plumber, not a repair plumber)
and I'm supposed to know how to fix this thing, and it's
kinda embarrassing. Is there anybody ever had a similar
problem?
The drain hole to the bowl that the flapper seats on is
2 9/16" in diameter. The flapper measures 2 3/4" in diameter.
Not much overlap is there? Maybe an after market flapper
might work better, or what?
