I have an American Standard Marina 3.5gal model that had a weak flush issue that started suddenly, so I suspect my kids dropped an object like coins in the bowl. I plunged and augered the bowl, which initially worked, but then it became worse. I took the bowl off the flange, turned it over and unplugged it with the auger (paper &organic matter), then ran water through the bowl without issue. Fyi the drain pipe appears clear. I reinstalled the bowl and put a new wax seal, but now I get a very slow drain from the bowl and no suction.

I have two theories:
1. I jammed the object in the trap with the auger, so that any solids now get stuck.
2. The foreign object went in the siphon jet hole opposite the drain hole and is impacting the siphon.

Thoughts on how to resolve this?
 
Ha ha :)
That would certainly reduce the TCO (total cost of ownership)...
