That would be the logical conclusion if you are sure there is no screw to undo. Could be a very tight fit if there is limescale in there, or a decayed O-ring.

Yes. The band would counter the Coanda effect.

As a temporary bodge you could put a rubber band round the tap to provide a barrier for the water.

If the piston is sticking, perhaps the lifting wire is not aligned correctly? You should be able to shorten (or bend) the wire if necessary.

Our bin lid behaves much the same way. Also, it's cunningly designed so that lifting the lid to tip off the water results in water entering the bin via the hinge section!

The size and weight of the flag will determine the best type of fixings to use. Also, is the flag likely to be exposed to high winds? Do the fastenings need to be removable?

Isn't the wheel then likely to come off the track? Can you adjust the wheel mounting so that the bottom of the gate is a tad higher above the track?
