First port of call, decent quality fresh battery and plenty of air ?
Then try resetting the solenoid, de-gas and give it a good 10-20 trigger pulls with eyes off.
Next step, de-gassed remove the drive train from the back. Undo the velocity adjuster until it comes out of the bolt guide, take care not to lose the poppet spring, take out the poppet using an Allen key to gently push it through from the bolt guide end. Clean off old lube, apply a tiny amount to the white poppet face, a little to the poppet body o-ring and a little to the poppet body itself. Check any o-rings you come across while doing this for nicks, damage or wear and replace if needed. Re-lube the drive train ( don't go nuts) and you should be golden

ok will give that a try, ive also noticed that the solenoid doesnt sounds for first few shots so doesnt shoot till after about 15 triggers pulls
ive got a similar problem, noticed a very slight leak coming out of the feed neck when i had no hopper on. Taken the whole thing apart and cant find anything wrong. I also have a boss bolt but only used about 3k shots on it. ill give the poppet a clean and relube and see if that does it.
Did as what @MeDiC instructed and replaced the o ring on the poppet. On first airing up, it seem to have fixed it but after a few shots the problem returned. Could it be the poppet face? or i have seen a post @Care_Bears did about an o ring at the top of the air transfer tube cuasing air loss, could this lead to a slight leak.(im thinking not)
How long since you changed the orings? Even 10% wear can cause slight issues. Im not saying it is an oring, its impossible for me to tell, just giving you another angle of attack.
