Open the tank and observe the chain before you flush it.
As you flush it, look at the chain and the float bowl.
The geometry & the timing can be easily changed.
1.) move the chain by a link or two
2.) bend the float’s rod to change the fill level
if none of these work, buy and install a new flap valve kit
Thank you so much. I will try to be a plumber for my mom.
Once it's flushed with the bucket, go inside the tank and shorten the little chain that connects the flapper to the handle arm.
