Getting some new life out of some steer tires! 🔧
Regrooving cuts fresh tread into a worn solid tire instead of replacing it. Satisfying when you pull the rubber out.
Pro tip: smooth tires with plenty of rubber left can usually be regrooved. Ask before you buy new.

Revs up fine sitting still, falls on its face under load! 2 hours on this Yale going through the regulator, vacuum leaks, wiring, fuel pressure, codes and the O2 sensor. Sometimes you just keep crossing things off the list!
