toilet run time

Upon further inspection, it was the float was allowing the tank to overflow with too much water (water was flowing into the overflow tube. I adjusted the float to stop the water right at the fill line in the toilet, now the problem is, the flush seems to stop too early. The bowl empties out with decent pressure, but does not fill back up to a normal level (about 1/2 to 1/3 what I think it should be). It appears the flap in the toilet is closing early cutting off flow to the toilet. What controls how much water ends up in the bowl after a flush? The tank only about half empties now on a flush before the flap comes down. Thanks in advance!!

Damn.... Please disregard my last post. I figured it out. I did not have the refill tube going into the overflow pipe in the tank. :( You'll have to excuse my ignorance, I'm learning a lot of this as I go along.

I had this in a former home. It started out taking about 5 minutes to fill the tank and then went up to about 10 minutes. Drove me crazy, especially at night. Plumber found that there was an obstruction in the feed pipe. He took a contraption and blew back down the line and that did the trick. Had a perfect flow and fill after that.

We all are!! Cheers!

Yep, bad flapper or seat.

Could also be over filling, and going down the overflow.
