I can really use some help, thank you. We have an american standard toilet. Sorry, I do not know much more about it. We had a broken lever so we replaced it. At the same time we replaced the flapper and chain. Now the toilet flushes every other time because not enough water is getting into the bowl on the first flush. It kind of looks like the flapper is closing too soon. We tried putting back the old flapper and chain and the same thing is happening. We did not have this problem before. Now, we did have to hold the handle down a little longer before but it would usually flush. I have read it could be a clog but it seemed to be working fine before the handle.
We have tried adjusting everything back to where it was originally but the same problem, not enough water comes in on the first flush. I have read it could be the wrong flapper and this and that, we now have the original flapper back on and same thing. I haven't tried the 5 gallon bucket test yet, I guess because I know enough water just isn't coming into the bowl.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
