This reminds me. I attempted to fix an old, leaky toilet in pool house bath and forgot to put the giant, black, rubber, circle deal back on ... the one that fits between the tank thing and the back of the seat part thing. My first, test flush did not go well.
Then, because I had to remove the tank thing again, I goofed up and dropped the damn thing causing an enormous crack. Turns out, this particular old toilet is no longer manufactured. So, I had to track down a tank and, although it required some cleaning, found one in perfect condition at a salvage yard for $15.00. I spent days on this project ... figuring my time is worth more than $2.00 a day (debatable, of course), I would have been better off purchasing a new toilet or burning down the house.
However, now that I have vast experience in this area, I might be able to help. Can you take a photo of the inside of your tank, Mr. jiveturkey?
