1206 brakes

[IA1456]

I have a 1206 And the brakes don't
hold pressure or something on that
order. They work but the first
time you push the peddle its soft
a has to be pumped once before you
have brakes it Don't seem to be
air because I've bled them several
time and don't get any air out or
get it to help. Any ideas would be
appreciated thanks

First time of the day or first time every time you need brakes?

Sounds like the adjusters may not be working or you might have a leak in the piston if no leak there then maybe back through the pedal valve. I guess you would have to do some more looking/testing.

I would say that your brake disc's and plates are cocked due to a build up of old brake dust rust and maybe oil from a seeping brake piston and one of the adjusters backing off , broken or suck return springs . Ya will not know tioll ya take the drum off and start looking and fixen.
