A new clamp resolved the bubbling and now it idles smoother (probably just in my head). I also ran it in the dark and verified none of the plugs are arcing on the block. Everything checked out, so the plan is to put the cowls back together and run it for a few hours today to get it out of break-in mode. Thank you again!
