I'd personnaly go right to the starting fluid. If it fires up you can be fairly sure the problems on the intake side of things. If it doesn't it's less usefull, but points generally to the ignition/timing side of things.
Can't see the governor being too much of a problem on start up. SHOULD start whether the carb's open or closed or anywhere in between.
It's very common for these things to get flooded and be tough to start.
Watch for dripping gas from the carb. If you see that, you might try shutting the gas off to the carb, let it sit for 10 minutes then try starting it for a while (with the gas off) - if it fires up at any point, even for a few seconds, you know your carb's flooding.
Again - there are so many variables, as pointed out by others.
To me, starting fluid is a quick way to rule out half of them. Won't give you an absolute definitive answer, but it'll let you make an educated guess on where to go next instead of randomly trying things.
