Re: [VAL] 61 Bambi



Martin,

My tank and valve assembly are all original.  I used the toilet (#1 only) 
for the first time last weekend.  My valve leaks when it's being opened.  It 
stays sealed when it's closed and it doesn't leak anything when fully 
opened, but it leaks when I pull it.  I just pull it quickly and make sure 
no one is around.   I've had it looked at and the shop says nothing to do 
but replace it.  They did lubricate it.
