I just purchased a new to me 93 RMX 250. I'm having a heck of time getting it started. Compression is 140psi cold, and 180psi cold with a squirt of two stroke oil in the cylinder. I can eventually get it started with about 1/3rd throttle and chock after about 20 kicks where it's fully loaded. Spark is good, compression (near as I can tell) is good, air filter is good, and once it's started it runs like an ape it's just so damned difficult to start. I do the normal tricks of lean it over on the left side for 3-4 seconds and all, but my friends RMXs kick over with just 1-2 kicks. It's got a bore on it, and the folks I bought it from called it a 320 kit. Near as I can tell that's like 9mm over so it's gotta have a steel sleive. I've gone through the carb and it looks OK to me. I can't believe it's been this much of a bear it's whole live since the bore in 94 (I've got receipts from Klemm Research for the work in 94) so it's gotta be something. I'm just about out of ideas. One friend said it's probably the porting, dunno. Anyone???
