bought a new carb still no start? i have this dirt bike and i need some suggestion by some one who knows good abuot dirt bikes
 
I feel for ya brother. I have a ttr90 not starting either. After years of one kick starts it acts like it is not getting gas.
It costs $75 per hour for the yamaha mechanic to look at it.
Sorry I'm not a help, I just wanted to empathize with you.
 
Pull the spark plug and make sure it is not fouled. Best to just replace it. Next check to see if there is spark. Pull the plug out (like when you are putting the new one in) and lay it on the side of the engine. Watch the plug as you work the kicker. There should be spark. After that, assuming there is spark, I would check the air intake, since you have already replaced the carb. Make sure the reed cage (4 flaps) allow the air/gas in and expel the spent fuel. Two stroke engines do not have valves. It's not uncommon to have one stick or break. Also Make sure there is fresh gas in there. 6 Mos old gas could have been the kiss of death to begin with...
Feel free to contact me after you have tried this, if it does not start.
Good luck...
