Default Rm250 1990 2-stroke Many Questions?

Hello...i am brand new to this hobby and have many questions...please help if you can...thanks in advance....

I just got a 1990 rm250 2-stroke in fair shape.

This bike has a big bore kit in it according to the dealer that sold it to me. What exactly is a big bore kit, and does it add much power?

Next question is, should this bike be able to idle, and if so, can I just play with the carb settings?

Final question is, any tips to make this bike start easier. I am 5'9", 190lbs and just don't have the leg strength to get it to start. My buddy came over and he got it start fairly easy for him, the only way for me to get it going is to roll it down a hill.

Thanks alot for helping.
