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.
