I think either you're not getting all the air out or you've likely got one
or two bad cylinders. Look into getting the cylinders re-sleeved with
brass at White Post Restorations before/instead of replacing with new. Try
the master FIRST, as it's more likely to be worn. It's my experience that
even new cylinders aren't that great. The re-sleeve is supposed to be
PERMANENT (or the next best thing, anyway) and in fact comes with a
lifetime guarantee.
