Sounds like too much cable between lever and caliper. Hold the caliper closed with your hand and then loosen the allen key bolt which holds the cable. Do not press the lever at all. Pull the cable from the end and then tighten the allen bolt and depress the calipers. This should tighten up the brakes and also reduce the amount of travel in the brake lever when pressed.
If anyone knows of any mistakes please do correct me...
