sorry james I started typing before I fully read your postSounds like the little black tube coming from fill valve on left to the overflow in center. Not the tube itself , but it directs water into bowl after you flush to get the water level in bowl ready. Replace that fill valve with a fluid master and secure the tube into overflow. you Can test this by simply filling tank with bucket and then slowly add water to bowl. Till it’s just not filling any more. Then flush. If normal , go back to top. If still no flush then check the jet flush hole. Smaller hole in bottom of bowl. Sometimes hard water stops these up and the bowl can’t thrust into a flush. Good luck
I agree there is more than one way sometimes to diagnosis a problem and I would be great to know it the homeowners let us know what worked...No problem. Some of these homeowners are looking for more than 1 opinoin. I do the same thing. 50 plumbers will give you 400 different ways to handle an issue. Be nice if they came back and mentioned it being fixed or more opinions not fixed.
