All solid matter does not flush

[pitterpat]

One of my toilets does not always flush all of the solid matter (not the toilet paper). There will be a small turd left about as big around as 2 quarters that will be left. Is there a way to solve this problem? This is a 20 yr toilet (big tank) that has been retrofitted with the Fluidmaster flush valve.

Also I really don't want to get a new toilet with a little 1.6 gal capacity.

Thanks, Pat

The water may be too low in the tank,
or the flapper may be closing too soon.

Here is a good toilet repair link

Don't dismiss the 1.6 gal toilets out of hand. The first generation truly sucked, but the new ones work better than a lot of the old 6+ gallon jobs. If you really need flushing power, the PA toilets are spectacular, but noisy. I've got an American Standard 1st-generation PA toilet in the guest bath which will flush anything, but it's noisy, and the water surface is a little too close to users of the male persuasion, if you get my drift. I've also got a new Toto Drake ADA toilet in the master bath, which flushes as well as the PA, but with none of the bad manners of the PA. When we remodel the guest bath, it'll get either a Drake or the new Toto Aquia.

Fluid Master has a nice easy height adjustment. Slide up the plastic "lock ring". Then, turn the shaft CCW to raise the height to max possible. Then slide down the lock ring until it clicks in place. You may want to turn off the water to the toilet in case you make a mistake.
