Hey guys

Anyone with experience on the midget hsndbrake. Mine is not working and thought to ask before i go and investigate.

No hold to it at all and ratchet is just very loose and flappy.

Thanks

Gerry
 
This is quite common. get the rear wheels off the ground, adjust the brakes drum until they are on - then turn the adjuster (which is square) until the wheels just turn. This should be all you need for the handbrake to work.
