You can try bending the rod to the float slightly up or down.

Float valve is a device used on swimming pools. It is designed to keep the skimmer closed and to control the air flow into the pump when the water level gets low.
The pool water level will correspond roughly to the centerline of the float. So raising the float height raises the water level and vice versa. The float and its short rod connect to the float valve with a small 'wing' nut or screw. Using a small pair of pliers, carefully loosen this screw a bit until the float/rod pivots freely up and down on the valve assembly. Reposition it where you would like it, and retighten the screw. (No need to overtighten--just snug so the float is fixed to the valve portion.) It may take a couple of days for the level to adjust; then go back and readjust the float if needed. I would not 'bend the rod', as some have suggested, as the rod on this type of float is usually very short and doing so will likely break off the float or damage the valve.
Adjust the flushometer / Fill valve / flapper
Sewerage ejector float? sump pump float and which type, fill valve float, Automatic feeder float? Steam trap float for condenstation, therte are many flaots used in plumbing as well as other trades
There is a screw on the top of the fill valve, but these are usually corroded. Most people just bend the rod holding the float to adjust the water level.
To adjust valve clearance 6he1 just follow the instructions on the users manual.
If it is the common type with a float (big empty bulb) on the end of a rod, rotate the rod or bend it to make the float sit igher. The water will have to come higher in the tank to raise the rod high enough to shut of the water.
They are not adjustable, the lifters self adjust to control valve lash.They are not adjustable, the lifters self adjust to control valve lash.
What if your float is not floating? Food for thought... If your float has gone bad then it wil not give enough force to close the Float Valve. Get a new float. If this does not fix it then the float valve you got is defective.
Timing belt breaks or chain jumped. one thing that will cause this problem is over reving the engine. To the poster who said over revving the engine; please explain. I wonder how race cars can turn 12,000 - 16,000 RPM's and not sink a valve if revving has anything to do with it. May be the timing belt breaks? ANOTHER ANSWEREither the timing chain or timing belt has "slipped" (most common) or the valve has been sticking or the engine has been operated at an excessive RPM resulting in valve "float". Valve float depends on the mass of the valve assembly and the strength of the return spring. Elaborate valve assemblies have been established for the purpose of preventing valve float.
