I've come across another of these, last one I fixed a leak in the
aspirator tube with roofing sealant.

This one has a cracked cistern and the aspirator will not fit in the
new cistern plus I think the seal is shagged. Now because these things
use about 2 gallons of water they are no longer on the market. rather
than attempt to find a replacement aspirator that fits does anyone
know what the effect of simply closing off the aspirator vent to the
second chamber would be?

Currently without the aspirator the level in the pan rises
substantially and then the flush is not very good at removing the
solids.

I suspect that without symphonic assistance, the flush will remain poor
with or without the vent blocked. It's got to be there for a reason. No
harm in trying it and seeing though. It might make the flush "adequate".

Sad that we can't choose to fit these now, or at least it seems impossible
to buy one in the U.K.

If we have composing bogs, just playing it is child's play.

I had to use the old syphon and purchase a £13.50 aspirator which
fitted it, the new syphon had a smaller inside diameter.

Once back together the flush is fine even though the cistern is
smaller than the original.
