I'm like you... I come here first for advise on the fix and I'm still cheap
enough and enjoy tinkering enough to at least consider doing it myself.
Shop-talk gurus always have an answer and let me know whether it's above my
level of daring or now.
Fill valve ??? Hey, I can do that... my problem is getting down on the
floor to do it (and getting back up).
Wish I had a local guy... had one and he padlocked the doors...small
business is hard to keep running these days. I hate it ... now I have to
drive 25-30 miles to buy parts when he used to be 4 miles away.
