I'd give it a carb overhaul, gaskets/needle and seat and a good carb cleaner soak taken apart.

Hi,
Did you check the spark plug? It could be a little "rusty", might need cleaning or replaced, and the gap checked.

Usually surging doesn't happen with the plug (not saying it can't help it surge) but its usually the main jets clogged if its surging when at full throttle.
