My 2 cylinder (rocking boat) also failed to fall back down to seat after the
water drained our of the vertical cylinder through the small hole in the
bottom. So I took it off the pivot pins expecting to find some dirt hindering
the hinge, but found the real culprit. When the chain is pulled, the actuator
pivot back to vertical and rests on a small plastic tab just below the pivot
pins. The plastic tab is molded into the drain/pivot assembly installed at
the bottom of the tank and is about the size of 1/2 dime. This tab had broken
off. I was lucky to find it in the bottom of the tank. So I epoxied a dime
sized washer in place of the tab and snapped the actuator pivot back into
place. I hope it holds for a few years.

Unfortunately, 9 years ago, tnom slipped and fell while attempting to
repair his toilet. His head became stuck in the toilet seat and he choked to
death trying to free himself. Three days later his gerbils became very
hungry because they hadn't been fed so they chewed through their cage,
descended upon tnom and the squeaking mass of 342 gerbils ate his body. The
animal control people said that putting down the cute little gerbils was the
hardest thing they ever had to do. Then someone suggested that the gerbils
be used to feed the homeless so the animal control people donated the dead
man eating gerbils to a homeless shelter where there was a gerbil festival
and barbecue. The people from the homeless shelter took to the streets and
passed out barbequed gerbils to the homeless on the streets, in the parks
and under bridges. So tnom lives on in the protein of homeless people. His
tragic death wasn't a complete waste.(~_~
