Default Amer Std commode bowl doesn't fill

This is a Cadet model which, for those not familiar, will empty the bowl
of something like 26 golf balls. It has been in use for two years and
yesterday the tank fill valve stopped allowing any water into the tank so
I replaced it with a generic model from Blue Box. Now the toilet flushes
just fine but there is only enough water allowed back into the bowl to
cover the area immediately around the siphon hole. I tried different
settings on the valve but at the highest setting it is still shy of
filling the tanik by 1/2", I don't know if that 1/2" is even relevant to
the bowl level. Any ideas on the problem and the correction would be
appreciated.
TIA,
Chuck


Thanks, folks. That was it. Some ignoramus thought that he knew how to
install a simple valve. The trash went out the next morning - get it? Yea,
no instructions but you guys done good!
