Can't get brakes to pull tight

Hi all
Not strictly a MTB question but probably fits better here.
I can't get the brakes to pull tight on our Yuba Mundo. (They have V-brakes). I have changed the pads but he levers are still really loose - gone through all the usual re-setting by tightening the cable etc but hey need jamming on!
I wondered if they could need a new cable?
Any help would be great!

What on earth does 'pull tight' even mean? What is a loose lever (other than one that needs the bar clamp bolt tightened?) and what does 'jamming on' mean'?
If you mean the lever travel is too long, you need to tension the cable, wither with the adjuster or by reclamping the cable tighter (with the adjuster wound most of the way in so you can still use it).
And it all promised so so much”
