The flush lever is connected to the flapper with a chain. The chain has a clip on it that allows it to be adjusted. Assuming that your toilet flushes correctly, this it the only thing you will have to adjust.

The trick is to obtain a half flush when you press the handle and a full flush when you press and hold the handle.

To do this disconnect the flapper chain.
Press the handle to 2/3 to 3/4 it's travel position.
Attach the chain to the lever so that the flapper is raised about 3/4 of an inch.

You may end up with slightly different measurements.
