I suspect it is a dirty carburetor. My BS 12 hp had the same problem, I just took it off the mower, took out all the things that look like they would come out easily, cleaned inside and outside with gas, blew out all the openings with compressed air, and put it back on and it ran just fine. The other thing to look at is the spark plug gap. I think it is supposed to be .030, or something close. It is not hard because there isn't many parts to contend with. Just make sure none of the gaskets have holes in them, that would create vacumm leaks. If none of those help, consider a new carburetor or clean it with some type of stronger cleaner. Last resort, purchase a replacement, they run about $50.
You need to either adjust your carburetor richer or leaner while at full throttle.
it could be caused by a few different things. the pneumatic governor or a fuel issue. an easy test is to hold the throttle on the carb closed to an idle. if it continues to surge then it is a carb issue, if it stops it is a governor issue
The engine is receiving more gas than it can consume. Sometimes the carburetor needle valve will vibrate to the open position or the float valve will stick open. Also, a fouled spark plug will not provide sufficient spark to ignite the fuel.

During a power outage, homeowners do not have to get stranded in the dark. A Briggs & Stratton generator can offer sufficient electricity to power the most essential appliances, fixtures, and items inside a home. The most affordable options are portable generators, which are easy to move along the rolling wheels. Briggs & Stratton offer portable generators ranging from 3,500 Watts up to 10,000 Watts. Multiple 120 V outlets and power surge optimization and protection technology are standard features that will benefit homeowners during power outages. Since the generators run on gasoline, safety is a major concern and therefore users need to be aware of carbon monoxide poisoning. This means that portable generators must always be placed in well ventilated locations.
