Time for new guts----I suggest that you also consider a new shut of--1/4 turn ball valve----
The guts are cheap---

Toilet filling slowly. Fast after twisting wall valve.
First and foremost, thanks for checking this out. More-so if you're able ao help! :thumbsup:
After flushing water comes up the fluidmaster and dribbles out of the top veeeeeery slowly and down the arm instead of out the hose into the fill-tube. Is that making sense?
Anyways....
When I twist the cutoff valve coming out of the wall all the way off then back on it will fill normally by going out the hose into the fill-tube. Once filled, if I flush it again, it'll dribble down the arm. The only way I can get it to fill normally is to twist the cutoff valve all the way off and back on each time.
What should I do? What's the culprit? I could pull everything out to do trial and error troubleshooting, but figured I'd ask greater minds to reduces the stress on mine.

Likely the little valve inside is sticking---when the pressure is changed by turning the water off the valve opens.
The new guts are $10 of less and take an experienced person 10 to 12 minutes---You will have to read the instructions so plan in about 30 (unless you are a slow reader:laughing
