Did you send the piston with the jug when you had it bored? If you didn't they may not be the correct sizes...First I guess I should ask, do you get this feeling when you turn over the engine slowly or kicking it over to start it? If you are turning it over slowly (by hand) it will be somewhat jerky because the rings will not make a perfect seal (like an O ring would).
You can find your year model with the frame number here

The 250cr is really easy to kick over because of the gear ratio. I can kick mine with my left leg even though an earlier injury has made my ankle quite weak. A friend has a 00 yz 250 and it takes more pressure to kick it over. Anyways, an aircooled engine is easy to pull down and check--it would be my trouble shooting route as it takes less than 20min.

Clutch adjustment is fairly easy, disconnect the cable, lay the bike on its side and remove the clutch cover. Do not take of the shifter or kickstarter, they will come off with the cover. In the middle of the clutch hub is a 10mm nut with an allen screw in the middle of it. This nut will need to be loosened, to do this there is a small hole next to it that needs an allen wrench put in to it to stop the nut from turning, use one a few sizes larger than the one you will need for the allen screw. With the nut loosened and with the allen wrench still in the lockout hole tighten the middle allen screw until you get about 1/4 inch play in the lever on the case. tighten the nut remove the allen wrench you used for a lockout and reasemble making sure the shift lever lines up when you replace the case.
Kind of long winded and probably confusing explanation, but it is relatively easy 5min job

If its been sitting a while and sometimes if its not warmed up enough your friction and steel clutch plates are sticking together. If you get it running and ride it for a while they may free themselves. If not, you better pull the clutch pack and see whats up. I had one that sat for 10 years and basically just got new plates they were so stuck together.

Wait a minute. Does you clutch slip? The kickstarter goes through the clutch, that is why an older Husky won't kick with the clutch lever pulled in. It may be that the plates are gooped up from sitting/dirty oil and may need cleaning. I remember having a dragging clutch problem years ago but it would still start.
