crf 250r?

i bought a 04' crf 250r about a month ago, its been to cold or to wet to ride but i have problems starting it. i bumpstart it everytime and it starts up fine and it runs fine. after i ride it down the driveway a while i turn it off and wait about 2 minutes and try to kickstart it and it just wont start unless i bumpstart it. i changed out the plug and the same thing happens . the guy i bought it from said it sat for a year and he put a hotcam in it right before it sat. Could this just be cold weather or are there any other problems?

start

You need to richen the pilot jet or at least the mixture screw. Check your manual for how many turns it should be out and add a half-turn and see if that helps.
