Look for a dirty/clogged air filter or fuel filter. A more likely cause would be a blockage inside the carburetor. Secondary, a bad gasket somewhere between the carb and engine block. A clogged fuel filter would allow the engine to run ok for a few minutes before surging, and a blocked air filter would cause a rich running condition.
