For anyone who remembers, I had this problem with a slow leak in my Impulse for many, many months and was begging for help. I even took it to SmartParts like three times and every time, they couldn't find it or said they didn't know what to do. So I just lived with the slow leak, cursing my marker every weekend. Then during World Cup, I decided to try again. This time, I got a different tech. It took a few minutes but he diagnosed that I had a leaking hammer assembly, possibly a bad o-ring inside the assembly. So, I replaced the old assembly which had a titanium hammer to a new assembly with a brass hammer and suddenly, my problems are gone. I can't begin to describe how happy I am to get it finally fixed. Let me tell you now that's fixed, my marker is surprisingly gas efficient. In one game, with a 4200 psi fill, I got 9 pods and a hopper with 1000 psi left over at the end of the game.
So anyway, my purpose in sharing all of this is so that anyone who has problems with gas efficiency or may have a slow leak, do yourself a favor and just get a whole new assembly. It does wonders.
