Default toilet won't flush all the way

greeting, i have an older toilet (1988) that you have to hold the
handle down for the bowl to completely flush. i replaced the flapper
but that didn't work. what else could it be? i am thinking of
replacing the toilet all together and i'm guessing that the toilets
today are much better (flushing power) and efficient than toilets of
old.
also, what kind of toilets are those that you would find in a
commercial restroom, the kind with no bowl and 'woosh' loudly when
flushed. thanks, cj


I think the commercial ones that go 'woosh' don't have reservoir tanks but
are, instead, hooked up to the water mains and deliver about 100 gallons at
a pressue of 50 p.s.i.
