    Hey Ron try this!
    I'm assuming that you have a floatball ballcock,(see image). Shut the water off at the stop and remove the three screws on top of the ballcock. Pull the float ball and stem assembly up and out. Pry the washer out and reverse it, being sure to seat it in firmly. Now hold your hand over the open ball cock and turn the water back on for a few seconds to flush out the supply. Reassemble and give it a flush. Sound all gone? Good luck, Tom

Toilet flap vibration [ 2 Answers ]

I have a toilet that uses a disk-like flap instead of a ball. It pivots on a hinge and "hammers" down the flap onto the drain. I bought a brand new flap assembly and now when the toilet is filling after flushing, the flap vibrates and continues until you press it down. No signs of tears on the...
