I have a Thetford Type II toilet. It started not returning to the fully closed position after flushing. This resulted in not turning the water completely off and the toilet overflowing. We start pulling up on the handle to ensure that it shut off completely. So I decided to fix it. I bought all the parts and took the toilet apart, put in new water pressure shutoff grommet rubber round thingy, put in new toilet ball and seal, and new flange seal. I lubricated it with plumbers grease. Put it all back together and it worked well for a day. Now it is sticking again.
I was thinking about getting some mineral oil or baby oil to put on it to lubricate the ball. The spring appears to be strong, the lever is in the correct holes, it really doesn't work very well is they are not, I know because it took me three attempts to before I finally got it right.
Any other solutions are appreciated. I am kind of considering replacing the whole toilet if I knew there was a better one.
