When you say power surges, are you referring to the engines surging, or the equipment jerking? If its the engine doing so, then chances are you have debris in your carb, coming from stale or old fuel, or even moisture. Before cleaning the carb, check for intake manifold air leaks; make sure connections are tight. Air leaks can also cause surging. Next thing is look for a mixture screw. If you find one, richen the mixture about 1/4 turn at a time. If a full turn doesn't help, then you've got to remove and clean the carb.
If its the equipment does it, the jerk I mean, after the machine gets warm, idlers that have bearings going bad can do that, or a belt stretching will do so. If its the belt though, don't be cheap. Don't go buy a car belt thinking they are the same, they aren't..lawnmower belts use Kevlar or thermmoid, because they go thru shock load, because of the start and stop; automobiles don't...lawnmower belts cost more, but are worth it..

Where is Briggs and stratton engines made?
Originally from when Briggs & Stratton started business in 1919, the engine's were built in Milwaukee Wisconsin to 1985 and well into the 1990's. Recently great production is very little from were Briggs & Stratton was originally started. These day's there is great activity of Briggs & Stratton parts from China/Japan and Briggs & Stratton engine blocks being casted in Mexico. Truley a great devistation to a once GREAT engine. Which is why alot of people like myself will no longer recommend a Briggs & Stratton engine. Today your best bet is Kohler (still U.S. produced), Kawasaki or Honda.

Who does Briggs and stratton contract to build their snapper mowers?
Briggs and Stratton does contract anyone to build mowers. The mower manufacturers contract Briggs and Stratton to build their engines (or whatever engine is on the unit). That is why you can have a Briggs and Stratton on most any type of mower. Same is true for Kohler, Tecumseh, etc. Not to say that the engine manufacturers do not build their own type of outdoor power tool but as the question states "snapper mower". Also keep in mind that if you have a snapper mower with a Briggs and Stratton engine and you need warranty work on the engine you need to go to an Authorized Briggs repair facility where as if you have a mower warranty then you need to go to an authorized repair facility for the mower manufacturer.
