Mig gas leak

Gas leaks from the nozzle of my mig after the trigger is released. Sometimes it will shut off on its own. Sometimes it takes awhile and sometimes I have to shut it off at the tank. Any suggestions? Thank you, Bill


It's usually quite easy to dismantle the torch so I'd start with that and give the insides a clean. Possibly a build up of dirt is preventing the trigger from returning fully. Or the spring is knackered or dislocated. While it's apart, it's a good idea to replace the liner if it hasn't been done for a while.
