toilet siphon flush sticking

[fowler1974]

Hi,

When my toilet is flushed the toilet handle stays in the down position and the "rod" which connects to the large washer/diaphragm stays sticking up (not very well explained - sorry). Unfortunately the cistern is tiled in and I can't get to the underside to change the siphon, has anyone any ideas?

Thanks
Graham

theres nothing really in the bottom to get stuck.
is the linkage pulling it up straight when flushed ?

Yes you're right the linkage doesn't seem to pulling it up straight. How can I fix without taking the siphon out?

Thanks for your help

can you move the metal hook along a hole on the horizontal arm or has the plastic arm been cut short ?

Thanks for your help Seco,

The linkage is on the very last hole but is is approx 1 inch from being directly over the rod on the cistern.

Thanks

i would get a new arm so you can have the linkage directly above.
