I bought a 646 with a vanguard 18 hp. It suddenly started surging. Has anyone had this problem. I see the governor linkage moving back and forth. I wondering if I have a bad coil or does someone know what to check oin the governor?

This used to happen to me. Debris in the carb sucked into the jet or idle circuit. Some debris coming from the fuel line fixed by a -proper- filter; made for fuel pump delivery. Some debris was from a cheap knockoff fuel solenoid that was deteriorating into the fuel bowl. Buy genuine parts! There is a small hole in the intake body , near the butterfly and a shot of carb cleaner into that via the red tube of the cleaner can would clear it temporarily . Real fix is clean the bowl & jet and prevent debris.
