I just installed a new flapper and adjusted the liftchain to the arm, so when I flush...I have to hold the handle down to flush completely...if I let go of the handle...the flapper automatically closes and the flush is not complete...what do I do.

Shorten the length of the chain......make sure that it is not tight to where it would hold the flapper up after the flush is comlete....you may need to remove excess chain so that it does not get caught underneath the flapper and cause the toilet to constantly run!! good luck

Move the chain to the middle of the arm, then test flush it, the flapper should stay up until it's covered with water.

You need to shorten the lengt of the chain but not so short that the flapper does not close.
