Default Snap-On YA205A Mig Welder problems

I've had this welder for a very long time.

Everytime i try to use it, i press the trigger and sometimes nothing happens. there is a ground. Sometimes it will let out wire, and sometimes it won't.

any ideas?

check ur dry rollers....the things that feed the wire into the hose. do they work? sometimes u need to take it apart and put it back...or it could be the pressure?

i've had a YA212 forever now.
it's very sensitive to roller adjustment.make sure the bearings roll easily.try adjusting the tension.
open the side panel up and watch the wire and feed mechanism as you squeeze the trigger to make sure this is your problem.
