Installed new refit toilet handle on American Standard toilet.new handle has a square nut,old toilet tank has a round hole approx.l" dia. When I snug up retaining nut the handle stiffens and has to be lifted up to lower the flapper,when I loosen the retaining nut the ,the handle is verty loose and sloppy but the flapper works properly.I can not find a handle assembly that will fit this tank or is there and adater sleeve for this??
Thanks
