I've had the machine for 10 years or so, guess it's fair it starts acting up. I recently noticed the gas was flowing after I let go of the trigger. If I blip the trigger a couple times, it will stop. It doesn't stick every time. I pulled the cover off and found the contactor is sticking. I tried cleaning the contacts with sand paper and contact cleaner. No improvement. I ordered a new contactor off the jungle site, it will be here Thursday.

Any other input? I am off work this week and want to get my current welding project on the jeep done.
