Probably a bad trigger valve. Someone here had success washing theirs out with paint thinner, but I'd be buying a new one.
the O-rings are available in kits. IIRC the triggers are separate and replaced as a unit. Have you tried a google search yet?

I ordered mine from the net, easy repair, two minute repair
Yeah, I was the one with the sticky valve. DI's right, buying a new one is the proper solution, but I live in the boonies.
The valve pops out easily. Put it in a bath of thinner and squish the lever up and down; a bunch of grit will likely wash out.
....and stop dropping your hoses in the muck... ;)
Scott.
I got some parts on ebay for a roofing nailer. For some reason "new yooper workshop" sticks in my head. OEM Bostich parts, much cheaper than the local tool store (the guys in that store have a bad attitude anyway).
Just put the nailer# in the search. I had mine in like 3 days.
