Either the drive motor for the rollers or the wire speed control needs fixing or replacement. The click you are hearing is the solenoid connected to trigger trying to run the drive motor.
Control circuit failure or blown fuse on low voltage power supply. Look for 24VAC transformer. If that is OK follow to the trigger contactor and see if it is disconnected, burnt, etc.
Most mig welders have reversible feed spools. There is a good chance you have the spool in the .030 wire side. Remove the spool retaining clip and flip the spool to .023 wire for example. I don't know what size wire you are using. Also there is an adjustment for the drive spool. Tighten the tensioner spring thumb screw to increase the feed tension.
Been welding for a while, open side, check for proper tension on the feed wheel inside side panel, hit the trigger, if feed motor continues to spin tensioner needs tightened or mig wire may be getting hung up inside main cable lead. If motor is off on off on then its probbably the switch on the trigger getting a bad good connection, hope this helps o and check welding tip on gun end, may need replaced if worn or melted, unscrews.
Check the heat resistor which is located on the circuit board behind the wire speed dial! Looks like a white oblong component and tends to desolder itself through heat on the board! Resolder it back in and it should work again!
check the wire drive motor it may have burnt out also check the wire wheel drive teeth they may be slipping and dont try using rusty wire it rips the teeth off the wire drive wheel if this is all good check the neck triger switch if thats not working the wire feed wont work then take out the nippel and pull the wire through it to check its free in the feed tude with no kinks in it,,,
Look on the front pannel. thier should be a "latching Switch" indicated by "4 X 2" little arrowes. The 4 is " pull the triger -- the release the arc continues, the "2" is pull the trigger and the arc startes release the trigger the arc stops simplesssssssss
