My New Noodles are Dragging

Picked up an '08' Fuji Absolute for a short friend. It's a 15" frame size. Clean original except for the cables. It has Jagwire cables. The brakes levers take way to much effort. The caliper centering springs are adjusted overly tight to ensure they return to center. Pulled the brake cable system apart. Found there's a whole lot of drag in the noodles. Bought a 4 set package of new generic noodles off Amazon. They drag also. Tried a new inner brake cable wire thru the new noodles and it drags. I thot brake cables are a standard diameter. Do noodles have different I.D. measurements?
