Pressure bleeding should fix it. Put about 10 pounds air pressure on the top of the master cylinder and crack the right front wheel cylinder.

Did you bench-bleed the master cylinder? I've had that problem in the past, and it was because I didn't bench-bleed the master.

Tapping on the housing lightly with a small ball-pein hammer helps get the bubbles out while bench bleeding.

Do you still have an extra cover for the master cylinder. If so, drill a hole in it and put a tubeless valve stem in the hole and then put about 10psi air to it and crack one wheel cylinder at a time beginning with the fartherest from the master cylinder.
