Flushing is created by two things, initial force pushing down on the level of the water and suction caused by the rushing water through the pipes, cyphon effect. Without both you will get your results. I assume the water is filling quickly enough since it's a new toilet, but is the path free all the way to the major sewer line? Might have it cleared to allow for the cyphon effect to take place...

Sounds like you have partially blocked drain. Did you have any problems before installation of the new toilet.

Adjust you chain. Shorten it few links. Leave minimum slack.
