I don't have much insight. Is the fuel fresh? Was the 2stroke oil fresh?
Is it a quad or a trike? I have an '83 250R trike. I haven't started it in a couple years. It was a fun fast beast. .

Reed valves bad, Carb gummed up, tank full of rust, lots of possibilities. Have you checked for compression with a guage? What is the condition of the 250R?

Compression sounds low. How many hours on the top end?
