Their is no adjustment. Calipers are sticking or you have air in the brake system. Only other thing I have found is the restrictor orifice valve behind the master cylinder can get contaminated.

Flush the system and re-bleed to see if that solves it. I completely rebuilt the brakes on my EZ Loader and did this write-up on BBC for it.

thanks, it is definitely a problem with the calipers or the tongue mechanism I checked each wheel and could not find any problems except that the caliper appears not to be releasing all the way.
