Installed new Korky quietfill kit w/ flapper, now doesn't flush down

I recently installed a new korky quietfill complete kit in a old toilet because the previous system was getting stuck running and I've used one of these before in my other bathroom. But the new system no matter what I try to adjust no longer let's the water flush down enough to move solid waste everytime. The only thing I had not replaced was the handle. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Update (11/02/25)

Well I thought I had it fixed.

I had soaked all the rim jets and siphon jet with CLR and for a few flushes, it worked. So I'm guessing the issue is build-up of rust when taking the tank apart must have gotten into the bowl jets and is effecting their output.

Generally you can tell where the original water level was due to discoloration inside the tank; does the take fill back up that that line with the new kit? Sounds like the water level needs to be higher in the tank.

Tank fills up slightly higher than the old water mark. When it flushes the flip lifts up all the way, it appears like the water swirls in the bowl without going down fast enough to empty the bowl

Does the water level rise slightly in the pan when flushing occurs?

If it does wondering if it may be a partially blocked drain pipe or an air vent problem in the drain pipe not allowing the water to drain away quickly enough.

Was the old system flushing away OK?

Water does rise slightly in the bowl when I flush. Toilet was flushing fine before replacing the mechanics, replaced them because they would often get stuck and the Toilet would keep running if no one paid attention to it.

If I pour a bucket of water into the bowl the bowl flushed down fine. So the issue I'm sure is it not sending water fast enough to create the vacuum, I'm just not sure why it isn't

So found the issue, the korky flapper had an adjustment on the bottom, it was on its water saver setting which slowed the flow to much to get the needed pressure. Soon as I set it fully the other way the toilet started flushing correctly again.

My son had a similar problem when he moved into the house he just bought; the toilet didn't drain worth a darn. In his case you could also hear gurgling from the bathtub drain when you flushed. We finally figured out that the venting wasn't working; the previous owners had put on a metal roof and cut all of the roof vents off, installing one way vents in the walls instead. The vent for the bathroom wasn't allowing enough air in to allow the water to drain in a decent amount of time; we installed one with a higher airflow that finally allowed it to work correctly.

It doesn't seem like that should be related to your problem, but it's the only thing I've seen that sounds similar. What kind of vents do you have; do they go through the roof or do they have air vents inside? If you have roof vents, you might try getting up there and checking to make sure it's not blocked, and for internal vents, try taking off the cap and see if it drains correctly without it.

I haven't looked since changing the insides of the toilet, but I had cleared the roof off about a month before (lots of tall trees near the house) vent didn't appear blocked then and toilet flushed down before replacing the insides. Also neither the tub or sink in the same bathroom gurgle when water is flushed. Only replaced insides because the old ones would get stuck running sometimes due to years of rust and calcium build up.

Try using a plunger in the toilet to see if it clears anything.

There may be a partial blockage in the section of pipe between the toilet and where the toilet drain pipe joins the sink and tub drain pipes.

Can you try the snake down the pan and see how far it got?

von

I ran a toilet auger all the way down without meeting any resistance

@briancronkjr

Did you try the CLR trick again, just in case all the rust etc wasn't dislodged and removed the first time and is now blocking some of the bowl jets again?
