Follow this steps and fix it. God bless you
f the toilet bowl overflows, use a plunger or auger to eliminate clogs. If the toilet does not flush, tighten or replace the defective handle , adjust or replace the lift chain , or replace the flush mechanism. Jiggling the handle forces the lift chain or rod to re-seat the flush mechanism, telling you that something is awry.
If the bowl drains sluggishly, remove the clog with a plunger or auger, or raise the water level in the tank .
If water runs continuously through the toilet, lower the water level in the tank , adjust or replace a lift chain or wire , repair or replace a worn flush valve , clean or replace the valve seat assembly .
If water appears under the tank, tighten the tank hold-down bolts , lower the water level in the tank, replace the float valve , replace a malfunctioning ball , or tighten nuts on the water supply line, replace leaking supply line . As a last resort, re-seat the toilet .
If the seat is cracked or unsightly, replace it .
If the bowl or tank is cracked or otherwise unacceptable, replace the entire toilet .
SOURCE: how to replace a commercial flush valve
These used to very simple but have become more complex as technogy evolves. I will give you the standard answer though.
First shut the water supply off to the aplliance (there is a little decorative cover on the valve that is attached to the water line coming out of the wall. It looks like a nut. Pop this cover off and screw the screw in remember right is closed and left is opened.)
Now it is only a matter of unscrewing the couple of nuts that attach the actual valve.
Most valves come with step by step instructions but even without them it is usually a 30 minute job or less. You will need a flat head screw driver, spud wrench, tubing cutters- to cut the chrome trim tube to size, and some pipe thread compound or teflon tape.
Thanks for using Fix Ya and if I can be of further assistance let me know.

SOURCE: toto seems to flush,but suction not working and waste not emtying
check the discharge hole, meaning you have to take down the toilet.
and make sure the water in the tank is at a proper high. you need the volume to create the wirlpool and push the waste.
SOURCE: PEGASUS TOILET DOES NOT FLUSH COMPLETELY EVERY TIME
sometimes if you change the flapper and add more water to the tank by adjusting the fill valve they will flush with more power
