SOURCE: VERY hard starting takes way to many kicks usually play out befo
There is a proper way to start the engine. Four controls are on your bike to assist in starting.
Don't kick, instead, push the kick lever downward. You will feel the back pressure as the piston is going upward on the compression stroke to the point the pressure is great enough that the kick lever "locks up". You are very close to TDC. NOW, pull in the de-compression lever. Push the kick lever a little bit more to get the piston past TDC. Release the de-compression lever. Give the throttle a 1/4 turn then let it snap closed. A diaphragm in the carb gives a shot of gas when this is done. DO NOT do this multiple times because you will flood the engine. Leave the throttle closed when kicking. Give a strong kick through the full sweep of the kickstart lever. Quickly get your foot off the kick lever at the end of the kick to avoid any chance of "kickback" from a backfire. It can be very painful, and can even break a leg. I am serious about that. Repeat the process (but without the throttle priming), until the bike starts. A good battery, a clean spark plug, a clean carb and clean air filter will also aid in starting.

SOURCE: Thanks for all the tips on this CRF250R Honda but
i dont know what all you have tried so far, but check the fuel filter, usally in the tank above petcock. the compression seems fine as you had to bump start it in third gear. you can feel the compression of a bike when pushing it in gear, like a bike with bad compression you could push in first without wheel locking
Testimonial: " lots of gas , injector cleaner in the gas, spray cleaned up carb in frame,pulled of valve cover cam looks burnt blue in colour lack of oil? valves "
SOURCE: i have a 1974 dt 250 same as an dt 360 the bike
Compression is too low!
Replace the piston rings.
Also check continuity from engine to frame till high-tension coil...
Check if breaker points aren't dirty ( clean out with fine sandpaper )
Check breakerpoint settings

What does removed plug look like??
Is the plug correct for this bike, very important.
