Check other posts on similar problems;
Does spark plug get wet - fuel flowing?
Need to replace spark plug - try spare?
Check coil gap?
Check coil contacts?
Fuel - flowing? Breather not blocked?
Servo working?
Battery charged / servo throw correct?
Rods set up OK?

I'm sure you'll find the problem but good luck anyway.

Try starting without the fuel cap on some times the breather hole gets blocked and will only run rich

hello mate had same problem with my monster. In the end took carb apart and cleaned diagphram and everything of it with brake cleaner. Put it back together and perfect. This happened twice to me. Also check seal betwesen carb and head maybe fot new gasket or just smear on some gasket sealer which ypu can by from any motorong shop
