==================================

You don't say whether or not it is gas or diesel, or whether or not
the surging occurs with no load or not. If gas, the most likely
reason is a gummed up carburetor from sitting idle (you don't say how
long). Is the choke opening up properly after it warms up? If not
you could try spraying some "Gum Out" into the carb. When the engine
is surging, it is generating something other than 60 cyce power which
can damage non-resistive loads or electronic gear. Test with light
bulbs or electric heaters which don't care about line frequency.
