Brake cable travel not long enough

[Dinogrant21]

I recently installed a mechanical caliper and disk and I noticed the brake is very finicky. Ive tried adjusting things on my pedal and caliper and ive ran into two main issues. Either my disc rubs and when the pedal is pressed it brakes fully or when the disk doesn't rub the it only brakes half way. I feel like I need more travel in my cable so my brakes dont rub and so that they fully brake. Any sugestions?

I believe you have an modified Bks go fur. Here's a pic for comparison. I can send others if needed.

Good eye. It definitely looks the part for a BKS frame. What's the deal with the short angled piece (his first photo) right behind the brake pedal? Nerf bar mount?

Actually it's in the wrong spot. But yes it holds side rails.

I'm guessing that kart looked like this at 1 time.
