Default Help 1997 Scrambler 500 rear brake pedal

If anyone can help
I have the 1997 Scrambler 500
I saw on the old posts to blead the caliper
I have done that and the rear brake works fine with the handlebar brake handle but has nothing on the foot pedal
When applying the break with the handle I do have pressure in the foot pedal but it goes down
The 1997 has only 1 bleeder and have bled them a few times

Probably the master cylinder on the foot brake - Ive had to change it on both the scrambler and trailblazer.

If you play with that allen screw on the brake going into the master cylinder it should mechanically adjust the brake. Atleast 2 full turns on mine will adjust the pressure on the foot brake.

The model I have 1997 has only 1 master cylinder that is shared for the front and back brake. The handlebar master goes to a block were it splits to the front and back brake. I dont have an allen screw for adjustment. I could use some help if someone has this type
Thanks
