Sometimes flushes and sometimes water just swirls around, what is wrong?
After a year fo messing with my champion 3 tiolet problems and replacing the tank with a champion 4 . I still had flush still had problems I finnaly found the fix.
someone reccomended checking the inlets at the top and bottom of the bowl for sediment and hard water buildup.both were restricted. used a screwdriver to break free the bottom blockage (would reccomend using hard plastic ) and a plastic sink snake for the top.
problem solved.
There is a clog in the line. A plunger usually solves this problem, but you have to use a toilet plunger. Your local hardware store will give you the right tool ($13). If the plunger doesn't work, you need a toilet auger (also called a closet auger), which you can buy for less than $20.
SOURCE: When I flush toilet wht water swirls and flushes,
check the water level in the tank, if you do not have enough water it will give problems flushing. if the level is low there are two different adjustments you can make on the float and valve to get the required water level to get an efficent flush.
SOURCE: Toilets are refilling between flushes
Replace the flappers, and clean around the flapper seat.
Make sure the water level is 1/2 " below the large vertical tube by either bending the float rod down or adjust the skinny silver rod on a Fluidmaster unit.
SOURCE: I just installed an american standard cadet 3
We have just recently purchased one of the American standard cadet at home depot from a discount flyer and had it for about a day and took it back.
Like you said, Did not notice Any thing like a strong flush.
RECOMENDATION:
Take it back.
Home Depot also sells a Kohler Toilet 1.6 Gallon Flush Install
This is all it said it was. It saves water for sure and has a quick flush.
We liked it so much we purchased two of them because everyone in the house only wanted to using our bathroom.
Hope this tip helps.

I would suspect some sort of air lock in the pipe, or just a partial blockage which is slowing the water flow.
You may be able to clear it using a rubber plunger. You need a plunger that has a metal or hard plastic disk fitted above the rubber cup (to prevent the cup turning inside out).
If you have an ordinary plunger without the disk you could probably make one to fit it - perhaps the bottom cut out of a plastic drinks bottle and a hose clip to hold it in place.
You will need to work the plunger quite vigorously up and down in the toilet bowl to force a pulse of water through the system.
Pouring a large bucket full of water down the toilet after plunging may have more impact than just normal flushing. It will also refill the trap.
