how can i make my toilet syphon flush without pumping it?

My syphon tiolet will only flush after repeated pumping actions on the handle. This has been an on going problem and i have replaced the syphon that sits in the cystern but still this did not solve the problem. what is wrong please help.

ian.s is correct get another syphon they are not expensive - get a good look at it then trot off to the merchants to get the same type - they are usually quite easy to change
good luck

you must have a slight hole in the diaphragm in the syphon.Replace the diaphragm or another syphon
