Remove the tank cover.Flush the toilet and watch tank refill.If water rises to top of the overflow pipe,the intake valve did'nt shutoff take valve is controlled by float valve;adjust it to point at which it shut off simply by bending float ball rod until the ball is lower than before.

There are a few things you can try. First plunge it real good to make sure it is flowing right. Then adjust your float in the back of the toilet.

If the water is coming up too high in the toilet bowl, this is usually a sign of blockage in the drain. Try plunging the drain or using a plumbing snake to clear potential blockage.

Open the tank cover on the back of the toilet. Adjust the float by gently bending down the metal rod holding it in place. Flush again to test new adjustment.

You could re-position the float so that the tank does not fill quite as high. Easier: put a half gallon milk jug filled with water in the tank.
