I am only discussing the front brakes as the rear brakes are good. All brake linings were chamfered when installed and the linings are not unduly worn. The front brake levers are set about 15 degrees forward. I adjusted the front brakes only with a wrench using the adjuster on the backing plate, until there was a slight drag when turning the wheel by hand. Then there is no braking action until I rotate the adjuster further. Then I get good front brake action but very hot drums, even when driving along without using the brakes. Sounds illogical I know, but that's what is happening.
