I have installed the lever and found that it is very tight and will not flush the toilet does not have a chain (was installed without a chain)

This sounds like a pressure-assisted toilet, yes?
If so, there is a pressure regulator inside the tank that my or may not be adjustable. Some are set for about 30 psi, but some manufactuers make a lower pressure model set to about 20 psi. I'm pretty sure you will need to remove the pressure assist assembly to access the regulator, which is inside the tank. If possible contact the supplier where you purcased the toliet, explain what's happening, and ask them what possible options you have for your model.

If this is the model am thinking it is, you need to replace the flapper. it goes down in open to far and gets bound.Or if you have hard water or calciaum buildup,it is making for a tighter opening. I hope this helps. :)

Are your wast water pipes in your house vented through the roof? If they are maybe the vent pipe is clogged. At my father in-laws house the pipes are not vented through the roof like their supposed to be to vent sewer gas. they are not vented at all. Every time you flush it sounds like someone is downs stairs screaming. Something to do with air/ suction in the pipes.

If you are working with a plumber that can't answer your question, than what kind of help do you think you will get here. Not much of a plumber if you ask me, if you had problems with your first Mansfield why on earth would you purchase another, and use the same plumber??? I put a Kohler in, when I put a addition on my house and it's been working over TEN years without question and did not need a plumber to install. Take the thing back where you purchased it and exchange for an Eljer or Kohler and do not consult that braincell of a plumber, I would do it myself it's not hard go to you tube and teach yourself there are thousands of tutorials out there for doing just this DIY project.

Check the water level int he tank for it coming up to fill line in tank. Make sure the 1/4 " fill line from the fill valve is connected and in the stand pipe tube to allow water to fill bowl. Fluid master makes a flapper that has adjustments on it to increase or decrease water used to flush. It has a dial to move on it this would be another option if the above tried doesn't help.
Thansk and I hope this will help you with this problem.
