Check the compression. It should have at least 100 psi,..if not,then its time to rebuild the top end..IE piston,rings,bore cylinder. If compression checks out,i would start with the power valve. Two stroke dirtbikes power valves are notorius for gumming up and sticking,causing them to not rev correctly.

SOURCE: MY YZ250 WONT REV PAST 3/8 THROTTLE. I NEED HELP!!

It does sound like an ignition timing problem, but could also be a breathing issue, air flow in or exhaust flow out could be restricted i.e.:dirty air filter, excessive carbon build up in exhaust pipe from burning too much oil or rich fuel mixture.
possibly and more likely some junk got into your fuel system and partially plugged up the main jet in the carb, -or has the needle on the slide been moved? The little circlip at the top of the needle, if it has one.
1.Replace the spark plug, check gap, check spark, it should be bright blue and fat.
2. check the fuel filter, if no filter check the carb for dirt.

Its not supposed to work on your bike "BUT" I have a 2006 raptor 660 CDI on my 02 warrior 350 and it works better than stock and is supposedly "non-compatible" with the warrior the only thing different with your bike and the 03 is the TPS

I have a 2002 yz 250, it wont start, i just found out that one of the green cables on the CDI box was torn. what can i do to fix this ?

if the wire is long enough then solder it.but if the wire is torn out of the cdi box then you need to buy a new one.

Wont rev past 3/8 throttle!! I NEED HELP.

could be. I had a 91 kx 250 that was acting crazy and it turned out to be the stator and cdi box. you can check the stator easly with a omes meter but the cdi box is nearly impossible to check. you pretty much have to buy a new one and try it. also check to see if your power valve is working.
