Here's an experience I had once in an apartment where shared bath
with an elderly lady. The toilet would stop almost total one time and
then work fine maybe two or three times then stop again. Ran a
plumbers snake thru it and couldn't find anything. This kept
happening till I finally remove the unit from the floor. I found the
culprit. Was the lid of a tin can that was almost the size of the
drain tube in commode. It had lodged there and was acting sorta in a
butter fly manner. It would close then it would open. Apparently the
elderly lady had dropped it in there and didn't notice what she had
done.. It was a mystery situation till I took it apart though
Jack.

I may be resorted to that soon.
