Screw the actuator arm in until it is half a hole short of slipping over the flapper arm then pull on the actuator (or use compressed air if available) to get it onto the arm.I'd also put my money on this causing the 'ticking' noise that you're describing. The flap is probably rattling around due to no pre load holding it shut. Edited 28/09/12 01:04 PM by The Converted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
