Why does no water come through to the toilet and it will not flush?

In the tank, if you have the type of fill valve that the float rides up and down on a tube or square shaft, there is a quarter size washer in it that hardens and will not let the water in. It is either in the top or bottom depending on the exact type of valve. Shut the water off at the wall and this type comes apart by twisting it one quarter turn counter clockwise. The washer should be at the point the float separates from the base.
If you have the type that has the float ball on the rod, the valve can corrode and will need to be replaced.
Sometimes, the washer in the shut off valve will come off and plug the valve. Doesn't happen that often, but something to consider.

Why does water come out the kitchen when you flush the toilet?
There's a leak in the pipe.
Why would bubbles come from the tank where the flapper is when you flush the toilet?
because there is a Dukie stuck in the bottom of the toilet so you have to take out your toilet and flush the system.
Why does Air come from the siphon when i flush the toilet?
Because the passageways in the toilet that carry the water from the tank to the bowl are, umm, 'full of air' (for lack of a better term). The water rushes from the tank into the bowl to flush, but all the air is in the way, so you see some come out of the siphon. That's as simple as I can make it.
Why when you flush one toilet upstairs does the toilet downstairs make water noises?
Your water lines aren't properly isolated. when you flush the toilet and your water lines are refilling with water it can create water hammer. This is usually worse if your water pipes are either not properly supported or come in contact with wood joists or studs. You may also have very high water pressure which means a lot of air comes through with the water, try closing the water inlet a little. A loose washer on the shut off valve for the toilet can cause the jackhammer sound you describe.

Why does your toilet fill with water when you flush but usually does not flush all the waste?
If you live in a older house, it could be possible that tree roots are growing through the cast iron pipes (or through gaps between terra cotta and plastic pipes). You would need to send a router through with a cutter blade for a temporary fix. Replacing the plumbing in the yard or under the house would be the only permanent repair. This type of blockage is also indicated by overflows, because toilet paper will be caught in the roots and occasionally stop the flow completely.If you live in a newer house, it might be one of the newer 1 gallon flush toilets, along with a poorly designed trap, and you will have to live with it, along with millions of other new homeowners. Then again, it may be just that one of your kids flushed something down the toilet, and it is lodged somewhere in the pipes, and eventually the system WILL become plugged up, and then you will need a router.AnswerFirst of all look at the basics first.Check the level of water in your toilet tank.The level should be on the waterline or more.Secondly make sure your fill tube that is in the tank has not come out of the overflow (this fills the toilet bowl). If you do not have sufficient amount of water in your tank or bowl you will have a weak flush.
What Pokemon knows the move recycle in Pokemon mystery dungeon red?

What would make a toilet not flush forcefully?
If your plunger is left in the bowl. :) Since I've been snaking out toilets for many years I come to the conclusion that when a toilet doesn't flush right, the reason is like lightening and it never strikes the same reason twice. So your problem of your toilet not flushing smooth can be a million different problems but 90% of those problems are in the toilet bowl trap. If you plunge and snake the toilet and it still wont flush right then pull the toilet and look at the drain and if its clear then your problem is still the toilet which since china makes stuff so cheap , its almost cheaper to buy a new toilet then to buy the repair kit for your old one, in fact to have me repair your toilet and to have me install a new toilet with buying the toilet would be about the same price so almost everyone gets a new toilet and we live happily ever after.
How do you install a grease gasket on an existing toilet?
The wax ring underneath it? Shut the water off, flush the toilet and let as much of the water go out as possible. Get the remainder out with a sponge or towel. Dip the water out of the bowl. Take the two nuts loose on the base of the toilet on either side at the bottom. Disconnect the water supply line also. You can just tip the toilet forward to get the old ring out and to put the new one in. There is still water in the bottom of the toilet so don't move it around a lot. Put the wax ring either on the floor around the drain or on the toilet. Wax side against the toilet and the black funnel into the drain. Lower the toilet back down making sure the bolts come through the holes. Stand over the toilet and put both hands on either side right behind the seat and put your weight on it. This will flatten the wax out and seal the toilet down. Now put the nuts back on the bolts and tighten them. Gently a little on each side until they are snug but do not over tighten them because the base will break.
