I finally got around to looking for the air leak. It was coming out of the bottom of the cylinder. As soon as I saw the soap bubbles, I had an "Ahah!" moment. I hadn't trimmed the crankcase gasket at the cylinder base. Anyway, I trimmed back the gasket, but the two crankcase halves are not perfectly flush at the cylinder base. Is this abnormal and do I need to apply some sealant? Thanks my friends. See how nice I can be when I "need" something.
