From the sound of it your flush problem is more likely to be a damaged diaphram in the syphon.

Agreed

push the ball down, run the silver nut on the arm to the right... then move the bolt that its on, to the left. that will increase the gap between the bolt and the pin, and let it fill further.

if ya get my drift

edit : i didnt read thread properly sorry. like someone said i think the problem is likely to be the syphon washer, its probably split or something and stopping the toilet flush every time.

Had to be done

You sure nothing brown is stuck in the U-Bend

the problem will be the membrane that forces the water into the flush, youll have to take the whole thing apart to get to it, but the membrane will only be a quid or so... * its connected to the rod that the wire pulls up when you use the lever *

i know coz mine went not too long ago.

BTW, you need to take the old one with you to make sure you get the right pattern..

Is there a blue tab on the side of the cistern, covering two of three holes?

If so, I believe changing the position of that will adjust how much water it lets out.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the help,

It's fixed now, but im not sure out of the two methods, which worked...

I tried tightening the nut, it didnt seem to do anything, so I just pulled the plastic arm bit up and it clicked...Pulled it up again, it clicked again!

So it might be just a simple click into place mechanism!

Anyway it works now! LOL

Pulsedriver · 1 Jun 2006 at 20:56

Surely you do? The ballcock needs to go higher before it cuts off the flow of water. Having the ballcock lower would cut the flow with less water in the cistern.

What Nelson has said looks right to me.

The guy said:

if you want the water level in the Cistern to rise, you want the ballcock to go up.

Take the lid off of your toilet. Pull the flush.

The ballcock will now fall and lo and behold water will come into the systern. Pick your ballcock up. No water!

What you have posted is different to what the other chap said.

I had a similar problem once, you need to ensure that when the crank is turned, the boot kicks the bucket causing the marble to run down the track. It should then be a simple case of the larger ball launching the diver off of the seesaw into the tub, making the cage fall on the mouse.
