Tim,
I had that in one of my rentals. I plunged, snaked as best as I could and =
eventually pulled the toilet. I check both ends for an obstruction. Event=
ually, I did notice something, really small which was not white when lookin=
g in from the bowl side. It was barely visible deep in the toilet. I coul=
d not get it out, but fortunately had my 10 year old son with small hands. =
It took a lot of begging, promises that it was very clean and a promise of=
an ice cream afterwards and he finally reached in and snagged a small toy =
that was restricting flow. He had no interest in keeping the toy. <grin>
I suspect there is something that is blocking the flow, probably originatin=
g from the bowl side. Don't pull the toilet, but do whatever you can to se=
e into the deeper parts of the toilet and you may find your answer.

Subject: [Shop-talk] another toilet issue
Hey all,
While trying to sort the valve on our upstairs toilet, the toilet itself no=
w doesn't fully flush. The tank bits cycle, the toilet fills, but it only d=
rains slowly. It doesn't "gurgle" (for lack of a better term) at the end.
This has been going on for over a week now so I doubt there is anything stu=
ck. (no feminine products in use in our house any more so that is not an is=
sue.) I've plunged the hell out of it, pushing down and also sucking up wit=
h plunger. I can't really get a snake to go very far into the trap so not m=
uch help there.
I remember reading years ago that a clogged or compromised vent can affect =
sink drainage. Is it possible that this issue is affecting this toilet? The=
sink and tub in the upstairs bathrrom are no affected. They both drain fin=
e. Hell, nothing else in the house is affected.
thoughts please?
thanks
tim
