Went for a test drive today and the TT brakes just aren't working right. When I pull the manual lever, the TT barely slows down. I jacked up all the wheels and pulled the breakaway pin. Brakes all work, but they're not clamped as tight as I thought they ought to be. Should it be possible to wiggle the wheels at all?

As to the "wiggle"; When power gets to mag, the mag drags on drum. The rotation of the drum then the lever pry the shoes apart and to the drum. So if the wheel is not turning no brake is applied. So yes, a well working brake will let the wheel rotate a little.
First question reading your post; Have you adjusted your brakes? The I thought of the other thread. Poor connections might mean long time of light applications which can cause the shoes to glaze.
