Kohler Toilet. Repair? Replace?

29 days ago

I saved two Kohler San Raphaele toilets (#3397) from our teardown/rebuild in 2001. One works fine. The other has started to 'run'.

I flush. The tank refills, then continues to fill at a barely discernable rate, running into the bowl until I turn off the supply. Replacing the flapper hasn't helped. The toilet flushes fine with the initial fill, although that fill is less water than in this toilet's 'twin'.

One plumber says the least expensive route is to replace the toilet, that rebuilding the 'works' would be more expensive over time. (Something about fixing one thing and then another and another.)

Isn't there a 'fix' for this problem?
