Try using a new plug? Lots of people here will tell you that it's usual to use up 2 maybe even 3 plugs until the engine is broke in. I'm guessing since you're just breaking in the engine that its not a air leak somewhere but you never know. There's a good video on how to check for air leaks here:

I'm just getting into nitro so I'm sure there are more reasons on why you engine doesnt seem to be getting fuel.

Did you adjust your LSN(low speed needle)?
I have found out that if it is not screwed out enough, the needle will block the flow of fuel through the carb. Try turning it counter clockwise 1/4 turn. See if it will start then.
