Then there is a adjustment on the fluidmaster float and that can also be adjusted. Inside the tank there is usually a horizontal line and above that the words "water line" are written. Also the top of most fluid masters can be taken apart for cleaning, it pops up and turns counter clockwise. I like to turn a class upside down over the top of the FM and turn the stop on a few time to flush it out good. On new tioles I've not really had to do much adjustments other than the float. or a cleaning

And it's possible the valve sprayed out the top. And I'm a professional at everything so the fluidmaster was adjusted properly. This ain't my first rodeo! Life ain't supposed to be easy.

I tell them them it's a blocked drain and to have it jetted out. Seems like they always want to replace all the parts in the toilet before they'll hire someone to get the drain.

I've got skoal cans out of several and my best find was a tag body spray can. When i rammed the auger in hard enough to punch a hole in it, it was the best smell i'd smelled in a toilet ever. The skoal can work like a damper and would let the water out fine, add paper and it would stop it up. Donnie
