new ride (I hope)

So I picked up a 1998 Polaris 250 2 stroke Trail Boss the other day (made a stop at W&G's house on the way home) ....get it home and put cables to it and it fires up and runs for about 30 seconds and dies.
today I emptied out the tank of old fuel
changed the spark plug
cleaned the carb very well
added new mixed gas to the tank

and nothing not even a burp and I did what I was supposed to to clean and check everything. only thing I can get off internet is that the rings may be seized or it needs a bore and new piston and rings :(

any ideas guys?
