I don't have a trial boss 250 but on most 2stroke engines you should never see the top of the piston through the intake port when the carb is removed as the piston doesn't go low enough, thats by design, its the exhaust side you need to look through to see the piston top(crown), if you remove the exhaust to have a look check the condition of the piston rings while there

2006 Polaris 250 trailbalzer, starts & revs for 20 secs then cuts out. Cleaned carb, fuel pipes & air filter, flushed tank, & still cuts out. No problem with fuel to carb. Does restart & cuts out

Have you checked the Crankcase seals? I have 2 Big Bosses with 250's. 1989 + 1992

Both were terrible at starting and idling....after much troubleshooting I finally changed the crankshaft seals. (Which btw looked fine from the outside!) machines can be Cold now and will start 2 or 3rd pull with the cord now. Idle perfectly.

Also the oil injection system stopped working intermittently. Machine would just quit.....crank and crank it forever. So I just started using 32/1 mix and unhooked the Oil Injection cable from the Throttle.

My four wheeler gets spark and gas to the carb but wont start what else could it be?

Carb could be dirty, float stuck or choke stuck. Pull plugs, crank engine and see if you are getting raw gas in the cylinder(s). If you don't get gas to the cylinders, you won't start. You also could have a flooded carburetor.
