    The typical problem is a bad flapper, the thing hooked up to the lift arm and chain or lever. What brand of toilet do you have?

    Kohler toilet. I replaced the flapper and float and will see how that works. Thanks for the advice.

    Don't forget to leave 1/4" of play in the linkage when the flapper's seated. Good luck, Tom
