sounds like the engine speed governor is sticky
try unbolting the gas tank, remove it, and do a thorough lube and clean of the governor lever at the top of the engine
also there is a very fine lite weight long spring connected parallel to the governor linkage to the carb throttle, that will cause "hunting" (speed variation) if the springs breaks
Inspected and lubed the linkage. It's free and not binding. Still, the problem persists. It's more of a slight misfire than a surging.

I had the same problem, move the governor spring 1 hole tighter and see if this helps. These generators are set to run lean due to emissions, to fix this pull the fuel bowl - remove the main jet with a screwdriver - take the jet to a motorcycle shop and ask them to port it 1 size over then try it. You will most likely need 2 sizes over and don’t want it to run too rich. I did this to all of my Chinese engines, they start first pull and don’t surge. The local shop charges me $1.50 per port or you can buy a set to do this yourself.
