Pull Buoy

All, I swim with a masters group a few times a week. In full stroke freestyle over 800m I keep pace with a number of my peers, but lose about 50m over 800m when we switch to arms only w/ pull buoy. Clearly an opportunity for improvement - but I'm a little stumped. My kick is not strong - frankly I struggle on kick sets. I'd be interested in any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong (or doing so right when I add the legs). I shoud probably add, I've been working on this for some time and its baffled a fair few coaches! Guyster.
