Default Very Hard Starting Dirt Bike

Very Hard Starting Dirtbike?
1990 rm250 2 stroke.

new piston, rings, gaskets, porting job by eric gorr, boyesen power reeds, 40:1 premix, br8eix spark plug, runs pretty good when i can get it started and spark plug looks great.

spark I am not sure.......i have spark, but not sure if its the brightest spark I have ever seen.

If I roll it down a hill, it seems to fire right up, but to kick start it is almost impossible, sometimes it will fire, most times not....please give me some ideas.....eric gorr suggested stator.....but before I spend $130+ on that old of a bike I wanted second opinions...thanks.
