looking for help with broken Imp.

[MisfitsCapt.]

I recently bought an Impulse from a friend that's leaving the sport. When I air it up it starts leaking from the solenoid area because the holes that the 'noid screw into are stripped. My local pro shop says it's not fixable but I' d like to see if anyone thinks otherwise. If you have any ideas on how to fix it or where to send it to get it fixed they would be appreciated.

Most anything is fixable for a price. I'll bet you can fix it yourself. Aluminum filler, a drill, a tap, and a grinder can repair most anything.

Have to see it.

Perhaps you could drill it through and fit nuts. Or replace the part that is stripped. Or just wrap a zip tie around the solenoid for supplemental tension with the screws in for location. I'm not familar with impulses.
