I have a Kohler cimmaron toilet; won't flush, not enough water goes into toilet - anyone know why??

This is new toilet installation; when the handle is pushed to flush only small amount of water goes in bowl so toilet doesn't flush properly. If anyone has suggestions, would appreciate hearing them.|||Two things to check:


1) water level: sit on toilet backwards and on your left is a shaft that has a lever at top and a black cylinder on it. the cylinder has a c clip which you squeeze and move to adjust. The adjustment lines are on the piece to your right.


2) your flushing handle is attached to a chain and then attached to a flapper valve. when you pull on the handle the flapper valve needs to come up far enough that it floats. if not the suction of the water leaving the tank will pull it back down before it can properly flush. Adjust the chain.


Good luck!|||I am not familiar with your particular toilet. If it has a tank on top, take the cover off and you should see a water level adjustment. It may have a valve in the bottom of the tank where the water enters with a screw on top. Turn it clockwise to increase the water level. If it has a ball on a rod, you can bend the rod if it does not have an adjustment. Being a new toilet, I'm sure that the problem is simply that it need adjusting. Good luck.|||Did it work properly before? check to make sure the water to it is all the way on....low water pressure could be the problem or water deposits if it is very old.....
