I installed a new toilet about a week ago and am having one problem. If
I push the lever and release, often the flapper closes before the tank
is empty not letting enough water into the bowl to complete the flush.
I've tried adjusting the chain and flush lever but can't get past this
problem. It seems to me that if the flapper would raise just a little
higher, it would work, but the lever only allows so much vertical
movement. All help appreciated. Thank you

Fluidmaster makes a flapper assembly with a basket on the back. The basket
has small holes at the bottom. When you flush the weight of the water in
the basket holds the flapper up. When the water drains from the basket, the
flapper closer. You can slow the speed of the flapper closing by inserting
pegs into some of the holes to make the water drain out more slowly. It
costs around $5 and should solve your problem.
