OK so my toilet is running water but it is not filling up and I am also unable to flush the darn thing. Any ideas?:confused:

Remove Tank Top, not yours. Their should be a flapper that falls back into place, may need replacing, less than $5, also see if the chain is hanging up.

Have you replaced the flapper lately?
Let's check the tank adjustments,(see image). Check the tank water level, it should be at the mark in the tank or 3/8 to 1/2" below the top of the over flow tube. Now look at the flapper, If it has wavey edges on the flat surface, replace it. The linkage between the flapper and the flush lever should have 1/4" play when the tank is filled. Too much play and the flapper won't lift high enough and get sucked down cutting off the flush. Too little play and the flapper chain's sotight it won't let the flapper go all the way back and again the flush will be cut short. Also, check the small tube coming out of the top of the bakkcock and make sure it's connect to and draining into the white overflow tube. More questions? I'm as close as a click. TOM
