Was the tractor running before? If so, did it run up to high idle then?
There isn't much to adjust on the carb. You say it's new, so I'm assuming its a Zenith 14007 or something similar for gas only. If so, there's only the idle stop screw on the throttle lever and the idle mixture screw at the throat of the carb. The latter should be adjusted 1-1/4 or 1-1/2 turns from being bottomed out as a starting point for finer adjustmdnt once it's running.
Did you feel any spring tension on the governor arm when you synched it with the carb. There should have been a little, which would indicate that the governor spring is at least there and functioning. The slop you mentioned with the engine stopped and speed lever at the lower end is quite normal, and I really don't think your governor is going to be the problem.
I'd sooner suspect restricted fuel flow or stale fuel. It could also be that the impulse coupler on your mag is stuck and not advancing to running speed.
