Replace with one of these(or a variant). Fluid master 400. Runs about $10. About as trouble free a flush valve as there is in this galaxy.

Mine usually build up minerals in that diaphragm under the screw. Replace it with a Fluid Master for about $10.00 . The flapper and that pipe can stay where they are. The Fluid Master will not need the brass bar or the ball !
20 minutes or less and you'll be done for many years.

On the tank mold and can see it in your pic, there is a water level line, that is what to set the fill to.
Agree on the replacement, if a bad flapper valve change that too. Yours looks like one of the adjustable ones, that could be the problem.

The SO asked me today, "what are you going to do to day"? I said "nothing". She said, "that's what you did yesterday"! Me, "Yes love, but I was not finished yet"!!!!!!!!
