Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help, I have an odd brake problem, please note I have been methodical but am now struggling, as are a few other karter's to understand what's going wrong.

Couple of months ago, a brake hose dropped, caught, and had to be replaced. The brake caliper was also replaced due to a threaded bleed nipple. New pipes and connectors were also purchased.

The system was bled using a gravity feed brake bleeder that you screw into the master cylinder. Nipples undone and left to bleed clear. Pumped pedal, then, performed traditional bleed, then repeating the process. This isn't a special brake - like a kelgate or something, just 'run of the mill' hydraulic brake.

Anyway, on the stand the brakes move in when the pedal is applied and locks the axle. But on the track there may aswell not be a brake. Anyone any ideas?
