Hello from Nevada USA

New owner of a CRM250AR.
I've been happy to find this forum and have done a lot of reading! When I first received my CRM it was very difficult to start. So following some of the advice here I cleaned the ignition switch and wiring contacts and that made a big difference! Also have read up on the potential reg/rectifier failure destroying the PGM so ordered and just received a new Electrex RR125.
Had a terrible time disconnecting the 3 yellow wire alternator connector. Found out why. The tiny pins used in the AR connector had obviously overheated and the plastic inside had melted. So very happy I found this place or I'm sure a disaster of some type would have not been far off!
Also undoing some of the previous owner "upgrades" like a Nology aftermarket high tension spark plug lead that had been spliced (yes spliced!) to the original lead and ran down the left all the way to the back of the gas tank, over the frame, and then on the right side back forward to the plug.
Spares are hard to find in the US so working on collecting parts as I come across them... any suggestions of what to look for are appreciated!
Again, thank you for a great website!
