Hello,
I replaced a cracked older tank with a smaller 1.6 tank and the toilet only flushes intermittently and fills incompletely. When it fills properly, it flushes. There are no blockages (I used a closet auger); the holes along the rim are cleaned out and the tank fills properly. But, the flush is weak and sometimes nonexistent. If I hold the lever longer than normal it will sometimes help the flush strength.
To complicate matters, the toilet needs an offset flange, but it doesn't have one now. However, it flushed properly without the offset flange prior to the cracked tank problem.
Woe is me.
