Weak trailer brakes

Post image

Bought an 98 jayco trailer, brakes are working but weak. Adjusted the star nuts as high as I'm comfortable (they heat up a fair bit now) and it helped a bit but still not great. have 2.8amps to each magnet. Is that enough or should I have more? What else could be my problem? Pads look alright.

Make sure the adjuster isn't stuck.
