    Changing your ballcock will not solve your flushing problem. Let's g et this over with one post. Describe how the toilet flushes and I'll instruct you on changing the ballcock along with solving the flush problem. Regards, toim

    Describe your ball cock. Float ball on a rod or a can on a wire.
