Default Brake Buddy Adjustment

I am trying to get my "A" ready for the Glidden and thought I'd lube the bearings and adjust the brakes. Myself and another "A" friend inspected the parts and they all look great. All 4 clevises are set to 1/2 inch the shoes start to expand. I sett all four wheels to free wheel with no brake pedal. When I get to position3 both of brakes on the right side are still pretty free. I tighten them up as specified on the instructions. When I remove the Brake buddy the left side returns to freewheeling. The right side wheels are very tight and it takes 3 to 5 notches on the adjuster to free them up. This is repeatable.
Does anyone have ideas what to do or replace?
Thanks, Steve
