At the pool yesterday I was doing some pull sets w the buoy thing between my legs and noticed my times were not much slower on a 25y basis than I do when I add the kick. Is it safe to say my kick is my weakness or do most people do their pull sets close to their kick sets?
I also felt like I was able to do sets quicker with my br kick vs flutter kicker. I assume that is fairly common as well.

I have a two-beat crossover kick - I have trouble trying to kick more beats per stroke because my feet still try to cross over. Do you have this problem and if so do you also have a solution?
Not really. Actually my problem for almost my whole swimming career not including the last few years was that I didn't kick AT ALL when i would practice unless it was a sprint or a kick set. Its only the more recent couple years that I picked up doing something, anything, with my feet during a normal pace practice swim. This has manifested itself to a 2 beat crossover because I am lazy. I can, when not so lazy, go to a normal two beat, and even a light 6 beat without any problems. My sprints though, I swear there is no connection between my feet and my arms, so it could be a 6, 7, 8, or whatever beat. I am unsure. I just kick my ass off for 22 seconds, lol.
