Check your hub and wheel bearings.
Also check your brake lines for kinks.

and have you checked them now that your brakes have locked on? Sounds like they may not have been done correctly or that something may have broken. just because you did them awhile ago doesn't mean they can't be the problem.

Maybee the other calliper has the same problem???, as you mentioned it was also second hand, ive had the propblem a couple of times before on my coily,
pop the piston out of the cylinder you may find rust corrosion and general build up, give it a good clean (wet an dry maybee a new oring RUBBER grease) then try again
