Look to see that the cylinder port is in fact sealing tightly when it is closed, and also be sure the timing is correct so that you are getting maximum "vacuum" on the return stroke to TDC. Other than that, it sounds like you have been trying all the correct normal adjustments, but these things do tend to be a bit finicky!
