toilet waits to refill tank
I replaced the lever and handle on my toilet on Saturday. Everything was working fine Saturday, Sunday, and this morning. In the afternoon, it decided to wait 2-3 minutes after every flush to refill the tank. This happened for 3-4 flushes. The last flush worked as normal but I didn't do anything. It just decided to be normal again. If this should happen again, what should I be looking for? Is the fill valve getting stuck?

There are many types of fill mechanisms so unless you can provide info on which type you have I doubt you will get much specific info.

Here is a photo of the tank. It seems to be happening randomly but I think it depends on how long I hold the handle when I flush. If light, then it refills normally. Also, when it wasn't refilling, I opened it up and touched the bottom, black cylinder lightly and it came up and started to refill. What are your thoughts?

Any problems are a result of the fill valve, they are cheap and easy to replace if you are having trouble with it sticking or hanging up.
