This may seem insultingly stupid, but that's how I roll: When it doesn't go all the way down, is there slack in the chain? That would clear up the chain issue. I mean, you've either got too much so it won't open when you want to flush, or not enough so it can't go down. If that's not the problem, then for me it would depend on exactly how much of the flushing arm was replaced. If its sticking at the handle arm, then the chain won't matter. You'd have to force it to drop down after you flush. Like I said, I'd add some weight to the flapper or repeatedly force the arm up and down by grabbing that sumbitch on the inside and yanking it up and down. If there's some friction on the inside part of the arm, maybe you can reduce it by essentially grinding off some of the exterior part that's causing it to stick.
