I know, I know...the answer is to get a new toilet. But I'm working on this one for now!
I removed all the old guts, and installed a Fluidmaster All-in-One replacement kit. The tank to bowl gasket is too high. It makes the tank high-center, and sit up much higher than it was. When I contacted Kohler about getting a suitable gasket, they informed me that replacement kit is not suitable for this toilet, and that it needs the old-fashioned ballcock type innerds (which is what I removed.) However, the replacement kit has an adjustable water flow dial, which can be dialed up to 3.5 gallons per flush, so it would seem that it should work.
So I want to know, is there a reason that the Fluidmaster replacement kits shouldn't work (assuming I get a different gasket)? Or does Kohler just want to sell me their old-style (very expensive) kit?
By the way, this is my third time posting to the Plumbing Forum, and I am thrilled with the help I've received. Thanks for taking the time to help a stranger!
