I've lived with this for awhile, but was wondering if there is an easy fix...
I have a (I think) Mountain INdustries tub drain and overflow kit. It is a cable operated knob that pops up the stopper. This is a deep tub, and if the water is higher than say 4", the drain sucks the stopper back down. The system has a lever that raises the stopper which is not attached. I just pull it out and let the tub drain, but it would be nice if it had enough friction to stay up on its own when draining the tub. I've got the "up" position raised as far as I can get it and still allow the thing to lower and seal, but this used to be a toilet drain, with adapters to get the appropriate trap size, sits real close to the main stack, and really drains.
Any thoughts on how to adjust this (if it is possible) so there is a little more friction in the system?
