Our house is only 1 year old so the toilets are basically new. 2 of the 4 run but not on every flush. The tank is overfilling so the water goes down the overflow tube. When I pull up on the float the toilet shuts off like it's suppose to. The toilets are Kohler and the float is on a post. Is there a way to adjust this type of float?

On the post slide float assembly you can squeeze the metal clip on the metal bar and slide it up or down until the cylindrical float adjusts to the desired height. Hope this helps :-)

Depending on what model Kohler you have and age you can call Kohler 800 hot line, Home Depot should have it or just look on any Kohler box on the shelf. Kohler has a very good warranty and they should send you the parts to fix the toilet at no cost to you and usually overnite.

Put a slight bend in the metal rod just before the float, bending it in a downward motion, just slight , then flush watch to see if it goes over the edge of the over flow tube if so adjust your bend down utnill it works properly

There should be a linkage that can be adjusted to control the water shutoff. Look for one on the side of the column/post.
