Brake Issues Helix 150

[JT7]

I have installed a brand new caliper with new pads, but I am still having problems with the brakes. They work a "little" but does not have good stopping power. I have bled the brakes to remove all air in the line. Could it be the master cylinder is bad and needs replaced? Looking for some suggestions...Thanks for your time and assistance. My 12 yr old would be extremely grateful.

put the buggy up on jacks and see how the brakes respond that way it will give you good info feed back. roll tires and see if the brake pistons are working good, they get alot of dirt and moisture up in them and sometime they just stick and need freed up after that id check the master cylinder to see if the diafram is leaking maybe? hope this helps.

Thanks Bear...it will stop wheel rotation on blocks but not when actually riding. I will check to see if master cylinder is leaking. Thanks for your help

bleeding these little brake systems is difficult. there's a pretty good chance that you still have air in the master.
