(HELP) Few issues with my Apollo 250cc

Im having a few issues with my dirtbike and im still very new to the scene.

1) Replaced carb since old one was not good. I can't seem to find a sweet spot with the mixture any tips? It always seems to run too rich after riding around 30min - 1hr and will start backfiring if im really ripping it. It seems to me the idle is perfect but when really riding it is when it starts not liking it. Keep in mind I warm the bike up for 10-15min before attempting to adjust mixtures.

2) Starting the bike when its cold requires 1 kick and starts back up after fully warmed up and riding, if i stall or shut the bike off it'll take 4-6 kicks to start sometimes more. Im assuming this is due to the carb mixture as well. Any tips on this?

3) This bike also has a electric starter but it doesn't work. I thought it was a loose connection but I double checked everything and can't seem to narrow it down. One day I tried it out of curiosity and it worked and then again stopped working. Ever since then hasn't worked anymore.
