Default Spongy Brake Lever??

I recently bought a 95 Kodiak. It only has 800 miles but was neglected. When I got it one of the screws for the cap on the front brake resivior was missing and the fluid was almost gone. So I bled/flushed the system completely and replaced the cap screws.

Now the brakes will work a little if I pump the lever, on the first pull of the lever it goes strait to the grip but after 2-3 pumps it grabs a little. The lever adjustment was maxed out when I got the machine.

I tried taking the drums off to look for an adjustment there but I can't get them off for the life of me. I think they're rusted on.

Anyone have any ideas on what I should do next, I'm thinking replace the brake lines. Any input would be appreciated, thanks guys.
