    Make sure water level in tank is proper, 1/2-1" below fill tube. Make sure the flapper is opening all the way, chain should just have a little slack. Watch tank as water drains. Bleach or blue tablet blocking drain hole? Flapper staying up long enough?

I just replaced all the insides of my toilet, now when I flush I have to hold the handle down until all the water runs out of the bowl. If not almost as soon as I let the handle go the flapper will cover up the hole that drains the water into the bowl. I know this is easily fixable, but I don't...
