Sounds like there is something wrong with either:
1.) The trigger spring
2.) The trigger valve spring
We can't help you too well unless you open it up and report. Or better, get pictures.

The Max-D trigger mechanisms are really vulnerable. My Max-D 6000's trigger mechanism is screwed up too, so you're not alone on that one!
It sounds like the nozzle is opening like it should when you fire, but when you let go the valve isn't closing properly, I.e. it stays half open and water spurts out.
Best way to fix this is to open her up, the find the trigger mech and grease it up a bit. Pump the trigger a few times, then grease it some more. Soon you'll be hearing that familiar snapping noise of the valve snapping open. I find that after I've done this, a full pressure blast knocks the trigger valve out again... Have to find some way of strengthening it...
The whole reason that the Max-D triggers are so easy to screw up is because they snap open and closed, without opening to a varying degree. So the mechanism snaps open faster, making it wear out faster.

hey, it wasn't that old... <_< only a week, and I gave more detailed info on the problem, having suffered from it myself...
(Oh yeah, I notice you've passed 2500 posts Doom, congrats! )
