try turning off the water to the toilet and take the small tube that goes inside the small pipe out so the tank does not fill up flush repeatedly until all water is gone
AnswerHere are some things to try. Will it empty if you dump in a gallon of water into the bowl while flushing? Did it flush well in the past? You must start with a full tank AND a full bowl or you may not get a good flush. Are the rim jets and siphon jets open? Clean them with a hanger or something larger at the siphon jet. Make sure the flapper isn't closing to early. Some toilets will never work well, but if it used to flush well, it may be fixable.Answer
I installed a new valve and then a float for the chain, but it still was not working every time. Sometimes the bowl would empty, other times I had to try 3 or 4 times.
The Home Depot Plumbing guy told me the tank water level was too low. All I had to do was grab the retaining ring on valve shaft and loosen it, then pull valve assembly higher up, and then tighten the ring.
Now the float can rise higher (so, now water level is higher, almost at top of the drain tube ) and it works every time!

∙ 12y agoThere is obviously a clog.
Steps I would take:
Use a plunger
if that doesn't work, use a drain cleaner like liquid plumber
if that doesn't work, rent a plumbing snake
if that doesn't work, call a plumber.

What is wrong if the sink and the bathtub will drain but the toilet wont flush?
The toilet itself is plugged or the pipe from the toilet to the drain is plugged. It may be that the tub and sink have their own drain pipe that may connect to the main away from the toilet drain. Plunge the toilet or sometimes if you fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and pour it into the toilet as fast as it will take it, that will flush out the line. It is a greater amount of water all at once an forces out what the clog is.

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.
Champion 4 toilet that wont flush properly It worked great for a couple of weeks and now it acts like it is partially clogged Plunger didnt work so not clogged?
A plunger is only going to help if the plug is in the toilet itself. It may be further down the drain. You could have tree roots in the line. A simple fix that may help is this. Get a 5 gallon bucket and fill it with water. Pour it in the bowl as fast as it will take it. Bring the water level in the bowl up to the bottom of the rim and keep pouring until all 5 gallons is used. This is a much greater volume of water that the toilet normally send down the drain and may flush out a partial clog. It will not hurt anything if it does not help.
