Air to Gas mix is not correct. The carb will need to be cleaned very good and all new carb gaskets in place to work right. It only takes 1 stopped up port or a slight air leak due to dry gasket to cause your problem. Hope this will help.

SOURCE: won't run on idle and surging when revived up

Most newer carbs can be VERY difficult to get completely clean. It sounds dumb, but if you will take it apart and boil it on the stove with a couple of doses of cascade or electrasol automatic dishwasher detergent. (powder is best) for 10-15 minutes, it'll be spotless.

Usually that is a sign of the carb not being adjusted right. Run it at full throttle and adjust the main mixture needle (usually on the bottom) until it runs the smoothest. Set it in the middle of the range where it runs smooth. Then set it down to idle and adjust the idle mixture until it runs smooth at idle. Accelerate it rapidly and if it bogs or hesitates turn the idle mixture a little leaner (clockwise) and try again until it works right. That should get you very close. Try tweaking it a bit from there. as the microscopic specks clean out of it, it may need more adjusting.

Don't mess with the governor, just pull the bowl and unscrew the emulsion tube and clean the small holes, and also check the cap screw at the bottom of the bowl their could be a small hole that also needs to be cleaned. GOOD LUCK...

let it surge, it will usually get better as it warms up. These 6.5 Hp engines are fine except they have an cheap badly designed carburator. Nothing can be done about this problem. They all surge eventually.

Engine surges after warm

If your engine has an adjustment screw on the bottom of the carb. try adjusting that at high idle first also if you have a low idle screw. If that don't clear the surging than you might have to take the carb. off and clean it. If cleaning the carb. out dose not do it you may need to put a new carb. kit in. Any questions feel free to ask.

When motor is at idle speed it surges

Try a simple test. It is ok to run the pump without water for a short time. Check idle speed without water in system to see if enginet surges. If it does not surge, then most likely the unloader/ pressure valve is causing the engine to surge when in the unloaded state. Life of unloader /pressure valve is shortened by letting system bypass for long periods of time. Enjoy
