Default have to hold down toilet handle

Hello,
When I flush my toilet, I have to hold down the handle until the bowl
is almost empty, or else the valve shuts off and it doesn't flush
completely. Anyone know why, and how I can fix it?

Thanks,
Jeff


OR-
It could just be the chain on the lever is not lifting the flapper valve high
enough to prevent it from being sucked closed by the water. Try taking a link or
2 of slack out of the chain between the lever and the flapper.
