There will never be a dripping sound from the bowl unless there is water on the floor indicating a cracked bowl or a gasket has lived its life and needs replacing . The flush kit could drip though, Most likely an indication to adjust the level of the float or perhaps even replace the kit altogether, Never hearing the tank fill up is not related to dripping.
It sounds like your float is stuck in the open position.
You might try tapping on the carb with a screwdriver handle or small hammer(just tap, don't hit).
If that doesn't get it you might shake it from side to side a bit to work the float out of the bind it is in.
You may be able to pull the bowl off of the carburator and loosen it if the first two things don't get it fixed. The bowl will have a wire bale that runs under it and keeps it securely fastened. There may be a screw that is attached to the bale that you turn to tighten it securely.
Once you expose the float, just a tap with you finger should set it free. It will be attached to the carb body on a hinge and only moves up and down.
Once you have it free, replace the bowl.
The purpose of the bowl is to hold a small anmount of fuel to give the engine some quick giddy up,
When the bowl gets to a point she it need to be filled, the float drops and opens a valve allowing fresh fuel to refill it.
It's really simple. Remove the burner grates, removed the old drip pans, then drop in the new drip pans. You can order a new drip pan from partselect.com if you don't have one yet. Let me know how this works out and if you need any further help. Benjamin
Check flapper out and adjust water level in tank to proper level. If you get level right and it still does drip it sounds like the flapper is not sealing correctly to shut off water.
Toilet flappers are not to expensive and you can touch it with your hand and if you get a black residue off on your hands that a sign it needs replacing.
Is it not refilling the tank or the bowl? I've got a toto also that is not fully refilling the bowl after each flush. No leaks or other problems. Tank refills fine. Seems that the flapper doesn't float long enough to allow a sufficient amount of water to drain into the bowl before closing. Any ideas?
Are you using distilled water to refill your iron? Distilled water can cause drips if used all the time. Refill with tap water and see if the drips stop.
