How can I adjust my toilet tank to stop filling?

Helen,

The arm moves with the float and opens or closes the inlet valve. If you pull up hard on the arm the water flow may stop or reduce to a trickle.

The rubber washers often perish inside the valve and can be replaced - as can the valve itself.

If you decide to dismantle the valve to have a look inside be sure to turn off the water supply first.
