I have a Mansfield toilet and besides the siphon jet there is another
jet under the rim (front, right side only) that contributes nearly as
much as the rim jets to the total volume delivered to the bowl. This
jet also is likely to get clogged with sediment.

Roger that. Both squish the waste and water column in the siphon S
together so there is no space between them making the siphon action
as best it can be. Gee we all learnt how a toilet werks! A siphon-less
toilet requires only the bowl fill aggressively to flush. This can get a
little messy if you know what I mean. I had the chance while in Europe to
use an old style Water Closet commode. The one with the tank high on the
wall. Talk about needing to wipe your ass after you flushed it if you
didn't flush standing up. I was warned forehand luckily.

When I was very young I remember an apartment I visited had the tank
high on the bathroom wall with a pull-chain. I don't recall it
flushing any different though.

muriatic acid will fix that just fine and cheap too.........

Add the addendum: If a septic system, neutralize the acid in the bowl
and then flush.
